In The Odyssey a suitor is just a bachelor dude in Ithaca that court Queen Penelope (Odysseus's wife), slaughter the live stock in the palace, and have sex with other women (mostly maids) in the palace. So they pretty much live of of Odysseus's money.
There were many.
Antinous and Eurymachus
Melantho is having an affair with the suitor Eurymachus.
The vocal suitor of Penelope was Antinous. He was one of the leading suitors vying for Penelope's hand in marriage in Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey.
Penelope's suitors are a major subject in Homer's The Odyssey. Agelaus was one of the suitors and was killed by Odysseus.
The leader of the suitors is Antinous, an arrogant dirtbag who plots to have Telemachus (Odysseus's son) killed. the next highest-up suitor is Eurymachus, a devious and manipulative suitor. The only "good" suitor is Amphinomus, as he stands up for Odysseus and actually seeks Penelope's hand in marriage, not just the kindgom's riches. They all are killed rather spectacularly.
The Greek word for "suitor" is "προμηθευτής" (promitheftis) or more commonly, "υποψήφιος" (ypopsifios) in modern contexts. In classical literature, particularly in Homer's "Odyssey," the suitors of Penelope are referred to as "μνηστήρες" (mnēstēres). This term specifically denotes those who sought to marry her during Odysseus's absence.
You spelled it correctly: suitor
In Homer's "The Odyssey," the only good suitor is Telemachus, Odysseus's son. Unlike the other suitors vying for Penelope's hand, who are disrespectful and greedy, Telemachus displays loyalty and respect for his father and mother. Throughout the epic, he embarks on a journey to find news of Odysseus, demonstrating his courage and commitment to reclaiming his family's honor. Ultimately, Telemachus stands by Odysseus in the battle against the suitors, reaffirming his role as a virtuous character.
The duration of The Suitor is 1.38 hours.
The second suitor to die in Homer's "The Odyssey" is Eurymachus. After the hero Odysseus reveals his identity and begins to fight back against the suitors who have been courting his wife, Penelope, Eurymachus attempts to rally the other suitors and confront Odysseus. However, he is struck down by Odysseus with an arrow before he can escape.
The Suitor was created on 1962-11-12.
