Final+Product-Suitors


 * I. Summary**

In this part of Odysseus journey he retakes his kingdom from the suitors. In order to kill the suitors Odysseus had to be patient and not be prideful. Odysseus was disguised as an old beggar by the Goddess Athena so no one would recognize him. Odysseus was treated like a guest while Penelope decided to give up her hand in marriage to the man who could string Odysseus’ bow and shot an arrow through some rings. When no man could string the bow, the suitors grew restless and begin to think that it was a trick. Then, Odysseus asked if he could try and the suitors agreed thinking that he was old and weak. To their surprise he strung the bow and notched an arrow; then he shot an arrow through the rings. The suitors believed that this was some sort of trick and when they looked up at the beggar they saw, the King of Ithaca, Odysseus. To worsen the situation for the suitors Odysseus begin killing them all off one by one, until finally, they were all dead and Odysseus was at last home.

 * II. Analysis**

My group and I believe that the suitors don’t play an important role in the of Odysseus’ journey because they were trying to over run the king's palace and they were just causing mischief. They also tried to kill Odysseus and also his son.The suitors started to take his land and they made his people turn against him.The suitors also lied to the people by saying that odysseus was dead. They also made the people think that they have no faith at all.
