1.)
When Odysseus tells Telamachus his plan to kill all the suitors, Telemachus is very doubtful that it will work because of the large number of enemies against just the two of them. When Odysseus responds by telling Telemachus that the Zeus and Athena would help, Telemachus doesn’t believe him. Telemachus thinks the Gods are too busy to care because they rule the entire Earth and their battle would have no importance to them at all. Out of all the people in the world, Telemachus doesn’t think Athena and Zeus will choose to help him and his father. But Odysseus manages to convince him otherwise. In the end, Telemachus trusts his dad and continues to carry out his part in the plan.

After 20 years, Odysseus finally meets his son, Telemachus. Together, they devise a plan to dominate all the suitors and get Odysseus’ throne back. On their way to the town, Odysseus notices his old dog named Argus lying on a pile of dung. Without proper care, Argus is starving and very weak. As Odysseus comes closer to the dog, Argus tries his best to wag his tail as he recognizes his master disguised as a beggar. Shortly after Odysseus sees Argus, the poor dog dies right before his eyes, satisfied to have seen his master one last time in his life.

After Antinous hit Odysseus (disguised as a beggar) with a stool, Eupeithes’ the son of Antinous rebuked his father for his actions. He explained that the beggar could be a God in disguise. Eupeithes reminded everyone how the gods disguise themselves and turn up in any town or settlement that they please, and keep an eye on manners that are good or bad. If Odysseus was a God, Antinous would have severely disrespected him and the punishment is brutal. The gods are very powerful, and if Eupeithes was right about Odysseus being a God, Antinous could have been killed or punished along with other suitors there.
