Answer:

Odysseus is addressing Antinous.

Step-by-step explanation:

Antinous is one of the least likeable and most arrogant suitors of Penelope. We learn that he wants the hand of Penelope, and he pressures her into choosing a husband. He also leads the campaign to have Telemachus killed. When Odysseus returns under a disguise, he utters these falsely admiring words when addressing him. However, when the ruse is over, Antinous is the first one of the suitors to be killed.
