When Odysseus made it home, he disguised himself as a beggar so that his wife, who was entertaining dozens of suitors, wouldn’t recognize him. In the end, he killed all the suitors and made up with his wife. There was a lot of blood on the palace floors but everything worked out for the best in the end.
Nice, but, according to the most popular account of Odysseus’ death, he and Circe have an affair. The result is Odysseus’ illegitimate son, Telegonus, who eventually grows up, travels to Ithaca, and…kills Odysseus, his father, in battle.
Seems kind of appropriate to me…..
