How were the suitors killed in the Odyssey?

Most of them were killed in combat. The exception to this is Antinous, the first suitor to die from an arrow to the throat.Antinous dies unsuspecting, from an arrow to the throat while he is about to drink wine from a gold cup.Eurymachus, after pleading with Odysseus, is killed in the charge, as Odysseus shoots an arrow through his nipple into his liver.Amphinomous, drawing his sword and charging Odysseus is killed as Telemachus plunges his spear into his back through his chest.Odysseus kills many more suitors one at a time with his arrows before running out of arrows.After missing Odysseus and his allies with their spears, Odysseus and his allies throw a round a spears back:Odysseus kills DemoptolemusTelemachus kills EuryadesEumaeus kills Elatusthe stockman kills Pisander.After a second volley of the spears from the suitors, Odysseus and his allies volley back again killing more:Odysseus kills EurydamasTelemachus kills AmphimedonEumaeus kills Polybusthe stockman kills Ctessipus, son of Polytherses.the son of Damastor is killed by Ulysses with a spear in close range.Leocritis son of Evenor is struck by Telemachus in the belly.The rest of the suitors are slaughtered as they cower in fear from the deadly group.


Which act begins Odysseus' revenge on the suitors?

This is debatable, although many people would consider the first arrow into Antinous' throat (the first suitor killed) the first act.
