Odysseus chose not to reveal himself to Penelope immediately to test her loyalty and ensure that she had remained faithful during his long absence. He also wanted to gauge her feelings and the state of his household before disclosing his identity. By disguising himself, he could assess the situation with the suitors and plan his next steps more effectively. This approach ultimately highlights the themes of patience and cunning that characterize his journey.
