How does Eurymachus infuriate Odysseus?
Well, first of all, Eurymachus participated in the consumption of Odysseus' food and drink. He tried to steal his wifey and schemed to murder his son, Telemachus. He was the second worst of all the suitors, Antinous being the first. After Odysseus had killed Antinous, then Eurymachus tried to blame everything on him. He told him that they could pay Odysseus back for the food and drink consumption. Basically, he was lying and dishonoring Odysseus, which was a big no-no to ancient Grecians. So, Odysseus shot him bulls-eye in the nipple with an arrow. He was the 2nd to die. Haha, stinks for him.:)

Why does Telemachus set out to find Odysseus?
Telemachus sets out to find his father so that he can either confirm his father's death or survival. He is told to do so by Athena disguised as Mentor. If he hears that his father is still alive, he can wait for at least another 12 months. If he hears that Odysseus is dead, he can mourn his father's death and marry off his mother.
Is Odysseus married?
Yes, he's married to Penelope. Odysseus and Penelope have a son, Telemachus. Odysseus tells Penelope, "You must promise me, if I don't come back by the time Telemachus has a beard, you must marry." Penelope promises. Odysseus, still alive after 20 years, comes back to Ithaca to find suitors (men who are trying to marry Penelope) all over his home. Penelope knew he was still alive after 20 years, but people kept telling her he was dead. Suitors are very mean. Athena discuises Odysseus as an old beggar, and he, and telemachus go to their house. Penelope doesn't know it's odyssus. she tells Odysseus (the "beggar") that he still loves Odysseus and promised that she'd marry when telemachus had a beard. he had a beard now. so she held a contest to pick a husband. the contest was to string Odysseus's box & shoot an arrow through 12 ax handles. all the suitors failed to string the bow. Odysseus, the beggar, strung the box, and shot it through the 12 ax handles. he, and telemachus, killed the suitors. Athena turned Odysseus back into his old self after he killed the suitors. Penelope didn't know if it was really Odysseus, so she told the maids to remove their bed from their tree & into another room. Odysseus got mad, since right after he left for troy, he built their house & bed around a tree. Their bed was basically their symbol. Penelope then realized it was really Odysseus. Penelope & Odysseus were then reunited with each other again. Hope I helped! (:
