Odysseus must first go to Eumaeus's hut because he needs a safe place to regroup and gather information about the situation in his household after being away for so long. Eumaeus, as a loyal swineherd, provides him with shelter and support, allowing Odysseus to strategize his return to the palace without immediately confronting the suitors. This approach helps him assess the loyalty of those around him and plan his actions carefully before revealing his identity.
Elpenor, the first spirit to visit Odysseus in Hades, asks him to return to the island of Aiaia and give him a proper burial. He regrets dying unceremoniously after falling from the roof of Circe's palace and pleads for Odysseus to honor him with the rites that will allow his spirit to rest. Elpenor's request underscores the importance of burial customs in ancient Greek culture.
Antinous is the first suitor Odysseus kills.
Telemachus was 0, or newly born when he met Odysseus for the first time. When Telemachus first met Odysseus after Odysseus' return from the war he was 20 years old.
The first person Odysseus met was Eumaeus his swineherd.

The journey to the underworld of Hades to speak to the dead Theban prophet Teiresias is a command given to Odysseus by the enchantress Circe. Circe, who was initally hostile to Odysseus and his men (she changed them into pigs on their first meeting) has become a good host. She has been Odysseus' lover, and hosted him and his crew on her island for a year. But the crew and Odysseus now desire to go home. When Odysseus tells her that it is time to leave, she replies: "Zeus-sprung son of Laertes, Odysseus of many devices, do not stay any longer against your will in my palace. Yet you first must accomplish a different journey and go down into the palace of Hades and Persephone, honored and dreaded, seeking prophetic advice of the Theban Teiresias' spirit, that the blind prophet in whom is a mind still fresh in its vigor"
