Antinous is the most disrespectful and openly belligerent of the suitors. Despite Telemachus and Penelope being members of the royal family, he shows them no respect and openly treats the young man more like a servant than a prince, and his mother like a common whore, even though he truly wants to marry her. Arrogant and egocentric, Antinous is completely confident that Penelope will choose him as her new husband, despite his relationship with the royal family. He and the other suitors exploit the laws of hospitality to stay in the palace longer than required, attempting to force Penelope into marriage and shamelessly plotting to seize the queen by force after the murder of her son, Telemachus. Taking advantage of the fact that neither the queen nor the prince can resist them or drive them out of the palace, they constantly pressure Penelope to marry one of them and intimidate Telemachus at every opportunity. Like his other "rivals," Antinous is haunted by Penelope, believing he can do whatever he wants with her, regardless of her opinion or Telemachus's words. He also believes Penelope should marry him, as Odysseus disappeared many years ago and is likely dead. When Penelope continues to reject his advances and sets him impossible tasks to discourage him and the other suitors, he becomes enraged and begins plotting against the royal family, devising a plan for him and the other suitors to kill Telemachus upon their return to Ithaca and take Penelope by force. One of the important characters in the Odyssey is the leader of Penelope's suitors, who sought her hand in Odysseus's absence. He was the most noble and the most brazen of them. On his advice, the suitors ambushed Penelope and Odysseus's son, Telemachus, to kill him upon his return to Ithaca. Their plot was thwarted only by the intervention of Athena, Telemachus's protector. Antinous repeatedly insulted Odysseus, who had come to the palace disguised as a beggar.

Antinous is the leader of Penelope's 108 suitors. He serves as a minor antagonist in EPIC: The Musical. Antinous (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίνοος) is a hero from Ithaca in Greek mythology. He is the son of Eupeithes.
