SLAYING OF THE SUITORS

"... threw off his(Odysseus) disguise, and made
mincemeat of every last one of the Suitors, first with
arrows, then with spears and swords, Telemachus and
two faithful herdsmen helped him; nevertheless it was a considerable feat." (Atwood 158)
- Odysseus made his grand return by slaying every
last one of the Suitors.
- While the killing was happening, all the women, including Penelope, were locked inside the
women's quarter.
- The maids were forced to clean the mess.
