On the same day that Odysseus returned to Ithaca, the suitors of Penelope, who were vying for her hand in marriage, gathered in the palace. They were led by Antinous and Eurymachus, who were particularly prominent among the group. The suitors were feasting and reveling, unaware that Odysseus was disguised as a beggar among them, planning his revenge against their disrespect and greed.
The suitors were challenged to string Odysseus' bow and then shoot an arrow through 12 axes. None of the suitors are able to accomplish this; the bow of Odysseus had never been strung by anyone besides him. An old man was able to accomplish it; however it was later revealed that the old man was Odysseus in disguise.
Odysseus and the crew rescue themselves from the cyclops. Odysseus later escapes under Polyphemus' largest ram.
Odysseus helped raid Troy, and later raided the city of Ismarus, of the people known as the Cicones.
Odysseus leads his men into war against the Trojans. Later, he taunts the cyclops Polyphemus, causing Polyphemus to curse Odysseus. Still later, he leads his men into the underworld. Finally, he orders his men to sail past the Sirens, then Scylla.
Odysseus implicitly tells Telemachus not to string his bow, even though he can. Odysseus later signals Telemachus to prepare for battle after Odysseus has performed the feat of strength and skill.
The cyclops learns through a seer that he will be blinded by Odysseus. Later on, after Polyphemus is blinded, Odysseus yells his name to Polyphemus while bragging about blinding the cyclops.
Telemachus was Odysseus and Penelope's son, and was the only son mentioned in the Odyssey.They later had Poliporthes after Odysseus returned from Troy.
At first Odysseus and his crew killed the Cicones and took their wives and booty, but later they fled from the Cicones.
Odysseus was trapped in the cave of the cyclops in the cyclops island. He was later trapped for 7 years on Calypso's island.
