Summary:  (Maya)
Odysseus reveals himself to the Suitors and when he kills Antinous all of the Suitors are shocked and scared to death by him and they scurry around not knowing what to do. Then Eurymachus speaks and pleads for Odysseus not to kill the rest of the Suitors. Telemachus wants to spare Phemius and Medon. The women servants who were disloyal to Odysseus are forced to carry the dead bodies and then be killed.
