In Homer he is the suitor who behaves better than the rest, who treats Penelope with something like respect, who makes Odysseus pause. The disguised king takes him aside and warns him to leave before the reckoning. He almost listens. He hesitates. Athena pins him to the floor and he stays. He dies anyway. In the retelling he is barely there: a name on the pile of dead being hauled out of the great hall after the slaughter, alongside Antinous and Ctesippus. [SPOILER: Teilo’s reckoning has no room for the suitor who might have been spared. The hundred of them are a single rotting presence. To carve out one as decent would soften the moral weight of locking the doors.]
Amphinomus
One of the suitors. Named only as a body being dragged from the hall. In Homer, the decent one Odysseus tried to spare.
