He proved that he is the great Odysseus with god like abilities. It is important now because he let the suitors know he was powerful and got scared of him.
2. Antinous gets killed first because he was the one who hit Odysseus in the back with a stool. He also killed him because he was the meanest and treated him the worst.
3. He says that it was all Antinous’s fault to kill Telemachus and marry Penelope and the other suitors should be spared.
4. The goatherd goes into the supply room and gets the weapons for the suitors. Odysseus got mad and told someone to kill him, chop him up, and feed him to the dogs.
5. The maids were identified by the old nurse, Eurycleia, so they were taken to the courtyard and got hung because they were with the suitors.

2) Antinous, ringleader of the suitors was killed first because he was the leader of the suitors he was always mean to “Odysseus”.
3) Eurymachus tries to convince him that Antinous is to blame for everything and that the other suitors shouldn’t be killed.
4) Melanthius, the goatherd, raids the storeroom and gets weapons for the suitors and they used a ruthless rope to tie his hands and feet, then they hung him along a towering pillar so he would die painfully.
5) The unfaithful maids were identified by the nurse. They were hung and I think they did deserve it because they were unfaithful to Odysseus n Penelope.
