What does Odysseus and Telemachus do to get rid of the suitors?
they kill the suitors
How did Telemachus evade the suitors?
Telemachus sailed away on swift winds, and the suitors were unable to catch him either when he left Ithaca or when he returned.
Which of the suitors plot to kill Telemachus?
Eurymachus leads them all in their decision to ambush Telemachus.
How does Antinous suggest Telemachus get rid of the suitors?
Antinous suggests to have the suitors killed. Since Telemachus is the only suitor that keeps Antinous from Penelope, if Antinous gets rid of Telemachus and the rest of the suitors, he will be the only one left in the house and Penelope will be forced to marry Antinous.
Why do the suitors want to kill telemachus?
Telemachus is a barrier between them and Penelope. Telemachus insults the suitors in the first two books of the Odyssey, and threatens to eventually kill them. If Telemachus is dead, then there will be no man in the house. Penelope will be forced to marry. Further, it is easier to kill him before he is full grown.
