We have not been able to write lately because we are still recovering from the wild events that took place after Odysseus won the bow and arrow contest! After he won the contest he decided to take revenge on the suitors! He shot an arrow into the throat of Antinous. The other suitors didn't know what to think as Odysseus had not revealed himself yet.Once he did, the suitors became terrified. That was when Odysseus' master plan began to unfold...
Philoetius and Eumaeus had locked the doors so no one could escape and the women could not witness the fighting. Odysseus was then ready to attack all the suitors, but Eurymachus tried to calm him down by telling him that Antinous was the only bad suitor in the bunch. That is no comfort for Odysseus, who insists that he will kill all of them. While Eurymachus tried to calm Odysseus down, Telemachusw went after Amphinomus and killed him with his spear. By that time the event had turned out in to a flat-out battle! Telemachus went to get spears and shields so Philoetius and Eumaeus could join the fight. He had unlocked the storeroom to do so and on his way out, he forgot to lock it. Melanthius took advantage of this and went to get more arms for the suitors. However, Philoetius and Eumaeus saw him and tied him up and locked him in so he couldn't help the suitors anymore. By then, everything was complete chaos. Odysseus and Telemachus had killed all the suitors! Now it was off to reunite with Penelope...
