Whom does Odysseus kill first and why?

Odysseus first kills Antinous, the leader of the suitors, upon his return to Ithaca. Antinous is the most arrogant and disrespectful of the suitors who have invaded Odysseus's home, consuming his wealth and courting his wife, Penelope. By targeting Antinous first, Odysseus sends a strong message to the other suitors about the consequences of their actions. This act marks the beginning of his reclaiming of his household and authority.


Why does Odysseus kill Antinous?

Antinous was wooing Odysseus' wife Penelope, and eating Odysseus' food, wine and livestock. Odysseus had also wished that Antinous would die before his wedding day, and Odysseus proved his own words. Further, Antinous had proved to be an ungracious man, abusing Odysseus whom he thought a beggar. Antinous was thus not worthy of mercy.


Why does Antinous wants to kill Odysseus?

Antinous never wants to kill Odysseus, because he never realizes Odysseus is still alive. He may have wanted to kill the beggar, whom is Odysseus in disguise, but is prevented from doing so by honour and Telemachus' threats. Odysseus as a beggar begs from Antinous and curses him when Antinous refuses impolitely. He does want to marry Penelope, Odysseus' wife.


Whom does Odysseus trust to help him defeat the suitors?

Odysseus trusted his son, Telemachus to help him defeat the suitors. He also trusted his two faithful servants, Eumaeus and Philoeteus.


How does Odysseus hold off the suitors when they attempt to rush him?

Odysseus quickly kills Eurymachus with an arrow through his nipple into his liver. He also relies on Telemachus whom kills Amphinomous from behind with a spear through his back. Odysseus continues shooting the suitors one by one.
