Odysseus killed all of penelope"s suitors, and so the suitors" family members went after him for revenge! So odysseus gathered his followers, and the families of the suitors gathered theirs and was about to have an epic fight. But, athena and zeus came down from mt. Olympus and stood between the two opposing parties and said that there is no fight to happen, and that"s the end of it. Odysseus lived a long, happy life after this.

Odysseus had a son with circe and when this son grew up, he became a raider (pirate) Telegonus, the son, came upon odysseus" land and raided.

A very important hero to the greeks since he"s mentioned so often. Illustration: perseus holding the head of medusa.
