“Death in the Great Hall” in The Odyssey Is the portion of the book when Odysseus announces that he has returned. He announces his return by kill Atinoos and then killing the rest of the suitor. He then makes the Maids clean up the mess in the hall then Telemakos decides to hang the disloyal servants. They then torture Melanthios and kill him getting rid of any unloyal patrons in Odysseus's great hall. I believe Odysseus kills the Maids because they never did anything to help Odysseus or his family they just continued to care for the suitors intruding on Odysseus's palace. The Maids throughout the book are used by the suitors agreeing to their every command, even though that is their job they never had enough courage to speak their mind.
