Answer:

They are want to marry Penelope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Penelope is the wife of Ulysses, king of Ithaca, who has been away for 20 years, fighting in the Trojan War. Penelope waited faithfully for her husband, though she had to tolerate the harassment of innumerable suitors, who wanted her as his wife and stayed in the house where she lived with Ulysses, trying to conquer her and persuade her to marry one of them. Among these suitors was Antinous.
