To win the archery contest and marry Penelope, the suitors must string and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads in a row.
After winning the archery contest he reveals his identity to the suitors and kills them all.
Odysseus' plan for the suitors involved returning to Ithaca in disguise and devising a contest involving his bow. He aimed to regain his home and throne by challenging the suitors to string his bow and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads, a feat only he could accomplish. Once he revealed his identity after winning the contest, he intended to take revenge on the suitors for their disrespect and the havoc they caused in his absence. Ultimately, his plan culminated in a violent confrontation, resulting in the suitors' demise.
An example of jealousy is when the suitors are jealous that Odysseus was able to win the archery contest.
Penelope devises the contest with the bow to test the suitors' strength and skill, as well as to buy time while she waits for Odysseus to return. This contest reveals Penelope's cleverness and resourcefulness, as she uses her wits to outsmart the suitors and maintain control over her fate. It also shows her loyalty and love for Odysseus, as she ultimately plans to reunite with him once he reveals his true identity.
In the Odyssey, the suitors who have been courting Penelope, Odysseus' wife, are killed by Odysseus upon his return to Ithaca. Odysseus, disguised as a beggar, challenges the suitors to a contest and then reveals his true identity before taking revenge on them for their disrespect and attempts to take over his home.
For the suitors to string a bow through twelve loops. Though she only knows that Odysseus can do it.
Remember that Penelope told her suitors that she will decide whom she will marry when she has finished weaving her gift to Odysseus' father. But one of her suitors found out that she unwove what she did every night. So, Penelope thought of a plan that would stall her decision-making and set up a contest. The contest was that of the man who could string the bow of Odysseus, she would marry. And the bow was known to be toughest to string. And rumors say that only a man as strong as Odysseus can string it. Of course, no one was able to string it except for Odysseus who was disguised as a hermit. And Odysseus killed all Penelope's suitors.
When Odysseus comes home to Ithaca, Penelope has set up a challenge for the suitors to win her hand. Whoever is able to string Odysseus' bow and shoot an arrow cleanly through the ax heads, they will win Penelope. (Penelope, however, has a pretty good idea that no one else will be able to string Odysseus' bow except for him, so while the contest appears fair to the suitors, in reality Penelope has developed a clever plan as to avoid marrying any of them.) None of the suitors are able to string the bow. Then Odysseus comes in. (Remember, he has been disguised by Athena as an old beggar, so no one recognizes him.) To make a long story short, Odysseus is able to successfully complete the contest. Also, it is important to know that Penelope and all of the women have been sent to a room and locked in because Odysseus plans on killing all of the suitors for their crime of attempting to marry Penelope (his wife) while he was still alive. So, Penelope is not aware that someone has won the contest, the someone being Odysseus (in disguise). At the point that Odysseus wins the contest, he becomes Odysseus again, or, rather, back to his recognizable form. The suitors recognize him. Odysseus tells them he's going to kill them and what their crimes were. So, Odysseus shoots, with his bow and arrows, Antinous, the ringleader of the suitors. However, before Odysseus can kill the rest of the suitors, Eurymachus, also a sort of ringleader, steps up to ask mercy of Odysseus. He promises payments back for all the food, etc. the suitors have used up. Odysseus doesn't accept his apology, and kills all the suitors anyhow.
