the suitors
Penelope was inspired to create the axe head challenge after observing the skill of her husband, Odysseus. When he returned home disguised as a beggar, she devised the contest using the axes that Odysseus had once owned, knowing that only he would be able to string his great bow and shoot an arrow through the axe heads. This challenge served as a means to test the suitors and ultimately reveal Odysseus's identity.
After Odysseus' triumph at the battle of Troy, on his way home to Ithaca, Poseidon punished Odysseus for his cruel selfishness by banishing him on the island of the Cicones where him and his crew slaughtered many men and raped the women there.
The first island Odysseus landed on after leaving Troy was the island of Ismarus, home to the Cicones. There, he and his men sacked the city, but they faced retaliation from the Cicones, which resulted in losses among Odysseus' crew before they managed to escape. This episode highlights both the hero's initial triumph and the subsequent challenges he faced on his journey home.
