Answer :
Odysseus puts his father to the test to ensure that he has remained faithful and to confirm that it is actually his father. He puts him to the test by posing as a stranger who once housed Odysseus and asking him where he is. He reveals himself when he notices Laertes' increased sadness in response.
Odysseus and Laertes share a meal. Melanthius' and Melantho's father, Dolius, joins them. While they dine, the goddess Rumor spreads the word of the massacre at the palace by flying over the city. The suitors' parents gather for a meeting during which they decide how to reply. While Eupithes, Antinous's father, urges the parents to exact revenge on Odysseus, the elder prophet Halitherses contends that the suitors simply received what they deserved for their wrongdoing. Their little army pursues Odysseus to Laertes' home, but Athena resolves to stop the bloodshed while posing as Mentor once more. The only person to die was Antinous's father, who was struck by one of Laertes' spears. The Ithacans are made to forget the killing of their children and accept Odysseus as king by Athena. Thus, peace is established.
