The suitors wanted Odysseus's property because they believed he was dead and sought to marry his wife, Penelope, in order to gain his wealth and status. They consumed his resources and held lavish banquets in his home, assuming they could claim his estate without consequence. Their actions were driven by greed and the desire for power, as they sought to establish themselves as the new rulers of Ithaca.
