In Homer's "The Odyssey," the suitors who overstay their welcome in Odysseus's palace are ultimately punished for their disrespect and disloyalty. Upon Odysseus's return, he reveals his true identity and, with the help of his son Telemachus and loyal servants, kills the suitors in a violent confrontation. Their demise serves as a restoration of order and justice in Odysseus's household. After their deaths, the souls of the suitors are said to journey to the Underworld, where they face judgment for their actions.
