Odysseus must remain in disguise for as long as it takes to assess the situation in his household and formulate a plan to reclaim his home and family from the suitors. Specifically, he disguises himself as a beggar upon his return to Ithaca and maintains this guise until he is ready to reveal his identity and confront the suitors. This period of disguise lasts several weeks, allowing him to gather information and allies. Ultimately, it is a strategic choice to ensure the success of his plan.
