What is Odysseus disguise and why does he arrive this way?

Athena puts Odysseus in disguise because he was away from home too long (about 20 years) and many things have changed over the years. Being in disguise allows him to test people's loyalty and to see who he can trust. Also, there are many uninvited suitors staying at his palace, eating his food and sleeping in his home. Not only do they want to kill Odysseus and his son, they want to take over his property as well. In addition to that they are fighting over who gets to marry his wife. There are too many suitors, if he fights alone, he'll be outnumbered. That's why being in disguise enables him to secretly plan and prepare with those who he can trust, to launch a surprise attack on the suitors and drive them out of his palace.
