antinous is a prime example of disregard for the custom of ""xenia"" (guest-friend hospitality); rather than reciprocating food and drink with stories and respect, he and his fellow suitors simply devour odysseus’ livestock. he also shows no respect for the lower-classed citizenry, as is exemplified when he assaults a beggar, who is actually odysseus in disguise, with a chair, which even the other suitors disapprove of. antinous is the first of the suitors to be killed. drinking in the great hall, he is slain by an arrow to the throat shot by odysseus. eurymachus then tries to blame antinous for the suitors' wrongs.
