Consequence+in+Odyssey

In Book 20 of The Odyssey, Odysseus had to suffer the consequences of not listening to the gods and had to come home alone and steal his wife back from the suitors.

In Book 21 of The Odyssey, Penelope finally ran out of patience with the wait for her husband Odysseus. So she gave the suitors an offer, a contest, to see who could string Odysseus's bow and shoot through twelve axes. This way she is paying the consequence of losing her husband and many friends.

In Book 22 of The Odyssey, the suitors have to suffer consequences of trying to steal Odyesseus's wife and eating away his food and drinking his wine. Plus the maids deserve consequences because they help the suitors try to kill Odysseus.
