Though, Penelope was comfort with the news of the beggar, she dismissed such hope. The next day in the banquet hall, Penelope had decided to take one of the suitors as her husband, if that suitor could string Odysseus' bow and shoot an arrow through rings of twelve axes in a row. According to Homer, he tells that Iphitus had given the bow to Odysseus, when the hero was a young man. The bow had belonged to Iphitus' father, Eurytus, the king of Oechalia. Eurytus had been killed by Apollo.
But according to the story of Heracles, Heracles had killed Iphitus after the twelve labours, but Homer says that Zeus had killed Iphitus. Later, in his battle against Oechalia, Heracles killed Eurytus, before Heracles' own death. Odysseus never took this bow with him to the war in Troy. Telemachus saw the advantage of taking his revenge upon the suitors, said that he would see if he was strong enough to string his father's bow. The suitors panic, as Odysseus shot down the suitors with his deadly arrows.
