In Homer's "The Odyssey," the suitors who sought to marry Penelope and consumed Odysseus's wealth faced a severe punishment upon Odysseus's return. After revealing his identity, Odysseus, with the help of his son Telemachus and loyal servants, executed the suitors for their disrespect and betrayal. They were killed in a brutal fight, and their bodies were later disposed of by being thrown outside the palace. This punishment served as a restoration of order and justice in Odysseus's household.

The suitors staying in Odysseus' home are killed by Odysseus upon his return.
In "The Odyssey," there are 108 suitors competing for Penelope's hand in marriage.
In "The Odyssey," the suitors die as punishment for their disrespectful and abusive behavior towards Penelope, Telemachus, and Odysseus' household. Their deaths also serve to restore order and justice to Odysseus' home and signify the re-establishment of Odysseus' authority as the rightful king.
The suitors' actions of disrespecting Odysseus' home, trying to marry his wife, and wasting his resources did warrant consequences. However, the punishment of death was severe. Odysseus' revenge can be seen as a reflection of the importance of loyalty and justice in ancient Greek society.

Not at all. The suitors were guests of Penelope, not hosts.

Penelope's suitors are a major subject in Homer's The Odyssey. Agelaus was one of the suitors and was killed by Odysseus.
That Odysseus would return after a great deal of time, and kill all the suitors by suprise.
