Antinous is a character in Odyssey, where he was a suitor for Penelope. Telemachus was Penelope's son. The charges were that he overstayed in Penelope's house, and his answer was that Penelope has caused that by her trick of weaving a funeral material longer than necessary. ( she said that she will only choose a new husband when she's done, and they would stay in the house until then).
