since the Trojan War ended, and yet Odysseus has yet to find his way home in Ithaca. A large mob of suitors has overrun the palace hoping to take the Queen’s hand in marriage, yet she tries to remain faithful.

A large and rowdy mob of suitors who have overrun Odysseus’s palace and pillaged his land continue to court his wife, Penelope. She has remained faithful to Odysseus. Prince Telemachus, Odysseus’s son, wants desperately to throw them out but does not have the confidence or experience to fight them.
