Attitude to other suitors:
To most: Feels a slight superiority. He considers them more pleasant companions for feasts and general entertainment, but not equal to himself in intelligence or influence.
To Eurymachus: Relations are complicated. Eurymachus is the only one whom Antinous perceives as a potential rival for leadership. They often compete, but at the same time they can unite against common "enemies" or to maintain the status of the group. Their alliance is a tactical alliance, not friendship.

He prefers tunics made of fine linen or silk, over which he wears himations made of high-quality wool, often bright but noble colors (for example, dark blue, burgundy, purple, decorated with gold embroidery on the collar and hem). He wears delicate gold bracelets or rings, possibly with inlays.
Personality:
Unapologetic leader: Considers himself a natural leader among peers and other contenders. He always tries to dominate in any company.

Impulsive in the manifestation of anger: If his authority or dignity is hurt, he may lose his temper.

Relation to other suitors:
To Antinous: This is his main rival. He respects his strength and straightforwardness, but finds him too predictable and rude. Eurymachus often contrasts his cunning and charm with the directness of Antinous, thereby trying to gain a stronger position. Their relationship is a constant game of power and mutual distrust.
To Amphinomus: May treat it with a slight irony, as being too soft and impractical.
To others: Eurymachus sees in most other suitors his potential allies in the struggle for influence or, conversely, pawns who can be manipulated. He knows how to find a common language with different types of people, but his true loyalty is only to himself.
What he likes:
Complex intrigues and negotiations: Where he can show his intelligence and eloquence.

Name: Eurymachus (Εὐρύμαχος)
Age: Approximately 30-35 years old. He is perhaps a little older and more experienced than Antinous in some aspects.
Appearance:
Height: Tall, handsome, gives the impression of strength and confidence. The figure is developed, but perhaps a little more graceful than that of Antinous, with an emphasis on stature.
Face: Attractive, with delicate but expressive features. A characteristic feature is lush, fiery red or copper-red hair, which he always keeps in perfect order. Perhaps with slight curls.
Eyes: Unusual, rather light brown or even greenish, attentive and perceptive, always evaluating, with a spark of cunning.
Skin: Fair, perhaps slightly red from the sun, but looks well-groomed.
Physique: Naturally gifted, perhaps not as naturally strong as Antinous, but makes up for it with grace and movement.
Clothing: Dresses with refined taste. His himations and tunics can be brighter, more luxurious hues than others, often with gold or silver threads, emphasizing his status and desire to show off wealth. Perhaps he wears more refined jewelry, for example, thin gold chains or rings with stones.
Character:
Cunning and dodgy: Eurymachus is a master of words and intrigue. He knows how to fascinate with his speech, persuade, find compromises (or pretend to look for them) in order to get his way.
Flattering and charming: Has a gift for winning over people, especially women. His charm is one of his main weapons.
Conceited and ambitious: Seeks power and recognition, but prefers to achieve this through more subtle rather than direct methods.

A cynical pragmatist: The main thing for him is personal benefit and the preservation of his position.
Bold when it is advantageous: His courage is often shown in words and in his dexterity to avoid trouble. In a direct confrontation, he can be careful.
A skilled manipulator.

Items:
Tables: Low, heavy wooden tables covered with tablecloths (perhaps not of the first freshness). On them are the remains of the feast: half-eaten dishes, full or empty goblets, placers of bones.
Seats: Not so much comfortable chairs as benches, thrones, low stools, and someone may be sitting right on the floor by the hearth. All this suggests that the hall is not used for its intended purpose, but as a place for temporary accommodation of impudent guests.
Weapons: Swords, shields, possibly bows, which were usually in the armory or were hidden, can now be scattered around the hall or hanging on the walls without proper care.
Fabrics: The rich carpets that used to decorate the hall can now be stained or even misused.
Dishes: Expensive utensils that once decorated the palace are now used in huge quantities and are probably not washed very thoroughly.
Feeling:
The hall feels both majestic and humiliated. He remembers brilliance and order, but now he is overwhelmed with brute force, greed and lack of culture. Every object, every detail, seems to whisper that order has been disturbed, and its owner's house is under threat. It is a place where not hospitality reigns, but an insolent presence, where luxury serves only as a backdrop for waste and destruction

Imagine a spacious megaron (μέγαρον) - the main hall of the royal palace, the heart of the house of Odysseus. It is majestic, but now it has a spirit of decadence and an uninvited guest.
Structure and Dimensions:
Space: The hall is huge, designed for gatherings and feasts. Its length and width are longer than ordinary rooms, which can accommodate many people.
Columns: Powerful, massive columns support the ceiling. They can be decorated with simple but rough patterns, symbolizing the strength and power that once reigned here.
Hearth: In the center of the hall, just below the hole in the roof for the smoke to escape, there is a large stone hearth. Now it is probably smoking or smoldering, reflecting the general state of desolation. Travelers or servants often gathered around the hearth to warm up.
Floor: Stone slabs may be uneven from time or carelessness. In some places, traces of numerous feasts can be seen - wine stains, food remains.
Walls: The walls are most likely covered with paintings or frescoes (although they are not always detailed in classical descriptions). They could depict scenes from the life of Odysseus, the gods, heroic battles - a reminder of past greatness, contrasting with the current chaos.
Ambiance & Details:
Light: Daylight enters through a hole in the roof (or perhaps through some openings in the walls if there are any, but most likely not very large). At night, the hall is lit by kerosene lamps and candles, creating a flickering, sometimes disturbing light. Reflections dance on the walls and objects, giving the hall a mysterious feel.
Odors: A mixture of odors. Smoke from the hearth, the aroma of roasted meat, cheap wine, the smell of unwashed skin and sweat. These smells mix, creating heavy, suffocating air.
Sounds: Despite the fact that there were 108 suitors here, their presence did not turn the hall into a place of joy. It is rather the hum of voices, laughter (sometimes too noisy and unceremonious), the clinking of goblets, the crunch of food, sometimes fragments of songs or disputes. At other times, lyres and kitharas would have sounded here, but now they are overshadowed by the noise of the crowd.

The attitude of the Suitors to Telemachus:
Amphin:
Sees Telemachus as a legitimate heir who is worth respecting. She sincerely wishes him well-being and can show him some paternal care, but at the same time she tries not to actively interfere in political games or confrontations, preferring to maintain her moderation and not incur the wrath of other suitors. He senses that something wrong is happening, but his caution does not allow him to go into open conflict, even for the sake of Telemachus.
Eunomius:
He considers Telemachus frivolous and stupid. Perhaps he hardly perceives him as a legitimate heir. He can tease or ignore him.
Echinops:
He considers Telemachus honest, but too soft and naïve. He may have respect for him for his origin, but does not consider him a worthy opponent or leader. He may try to guide him "to the right path" or avoid him because of his purity.

The attitude of the Suitors to Telemachus:
Antinous:
He perceives Telemachus as a legitimate heir, but sees him as nothing more than a young man who interferes with his plans. He does not take it seriously, considers him naïve and weak. He can show condescending rudeness.
Eurymachus:
He sees Telemachus as a competitor, but not a serious one. He is more concerned about Penelope and status. He can play the role of a benevolent elder, but secretly considers Telemachus a hindrance that is easy to get around.
Lyocritus:
Considers Telemachus to be the rightful heir, but does not have strong personal feelings for him. He perceives it as a possible obstacle that can be removed or bypassed by political intrigues. Can observe it with a cold rating.
Aglos:
He considers Telemachus a young man who does not understand the essence of power and wealth. His attitude is contempt for weakness and impracticality. He can use his inexperience for his own purposes, if the opportunity arises.
Pefan:
He sees Telemachus as a potential threat, but not yet realized. His caution encourages him to avoid direct conflict, but he can weave intrigues aimed at discrediting or intimidating Telemachus.
Phimius:
He tries to avoid any relationship with Telemachus. The main concern of Fimias is to maintain his position, so he will try to please or at least not antagonize both the suitors and Telemachus. He can treat him with obsequiousness.
Ctesippus:
He considers Telemachus weak and insignificant. He despises him for his lack of physical strength and determination. He can openly mock him, if he is not afraid of the consequences.
Polyboy:
He sees in Telemachus a person who may understand the injustice of the situation, but does not know how to act. He may feel some sympathy for him, but his own caution will not allow him to actively support him.
