In Homer's "The Odyssey," many of the handmaidens suffer tragic fates after the return of Odysseus. Upon his arrival, he discovers that the suitors have abused and mistreated the handmaids while he was away. In a final act of retribution, Odysseus orders their execution, leading to their deaths as punishment for their disloyalty, despite their victimization during the suitors' presence. This highlights the themes of loyalty, justice, and the harsh realities faced by women in the narrative.
