Athena transforms him into an old man, and he goes into hiding. When he finds out about the men in his house wishing to marry Penelope (the Suitors), his wife, he and his son make a plan and eventually kill them. Some of the citizens now rise against Odysseus because he killed the Suitors (their family), but Athena intervenes and persuades both sides to give up the fighting.

When Odysseus returns to Ithaca, he finds that his home has been taken over by suitors vying for his wife Penelope's hand in marriage. Disguised as a beggar, Odysseus plots and ultimately executes a plan to reclaim his throne, kill the suitors, and restore order. He then reveals his true identity to Penelope and reunites with his son Telemachus and eventually reestablishes his authority as the rightful king of Ithaca.
