Odysseus must face 108 suitors in his hall upon his return to Ithaca. These suitors have been pursuing his wife, Penelope, and causing trouble in his absence.
Odysseus killed the suitors because the suitors raided his palace, tried to take his wife Penelope, steal his property, threatened the royal family of Ithaca and because they were a great threat to Ithaca.
The suitors were wooing his wife, and also had been eating his food and drinking his wine.
The men gathered there are suitors and they want to marry Penelope, Odysseus' wife.
