Odysseus seeks revenge on the suitors for multiple reasons. Firstly, the suitors have been disrespectful and have taken advantage of his absence by consuming his resources and pursuing his wife. Secondly, they have shown no remorse for their actions and have plotted to kill his son Telemachus. Lastly, Odysseus sees it as his duty to uphold his honor and reclaim his rightful place as the king of Ithaca by punishing those who have wronged him.
Odysseus had asked his son to lock the armory so that the suitors cannot defend themselves. After successfully shooting an arrow through the holes of the twelve axes, Odysseus shoots Antinous in the throat, and the suitors realize who the beggar - Odysseus - is. They try to flee, then attempt to get Odysseus away from the door so that they can escape. While Odysseus continues to shoot the suitors down, his son, Telemachus, gets spears and shields from the armory. After Odysseus runs out of arrows, he and his son use the spears to kill the suitors. They are helped by two servants. Eventually, Athena, goddess of war, makes her presence known in the form of a shield, and the suitors give up hope, and are slaughtered.
