Description
In The Odyssey by Homer, the suitors are a group of men vying for Penelope’s hand in marriage while Odysseus is presumed dead after years away from home. They overrun Odysseus’s palace in Ithaca, consuming his wealth and disrespecting his household. Despite Penelope’s clever attempts to delay remarriage, such as weaving and unweaving a shroud, the suitors grow increasingly arrogant and demand a decision.
