Odysseus is an epic hero. After countless battles and ten long years away, he finally returns home only to find a lot of men hanging around his house, eating his food, and "hitting" on his wife. Within the context of an ancient Greek epic hero, I think Odysseus had a right to "clean house" so to speak.
