However others say that she met her end at the hands of Ulysses himself on
 account of Amphinomus, Amphinomus was one of the suitors of Penelope; his words pleased her
 more than those of the other suitors, because he had a good
 understanding. See Hom. Od. 16.394-398 .
 He was afterwards killed by Telemachus ( Hom.
 Od. 12. 89ff. ). The suspicion that Penelope was unfaithful to
 her husband has no support in Homer. for they allege that she was
 seduced by him. And there are some who say that Ulysses, being accused by the kinsfolk of the
 slain, submitted the case to the judgment of Neoptolemus, king
 of the islands off Epirus ; that
 Neoptolemus, thinking to get possession of Cephallenia if once Ulysses were
 put out of the way, condemned him to exile; Compare Plut. Quaest. Graec. 14 .
 According to Plutarch's account, the kinsmen of the slain suitors rose
 in revolt against Ulysses; but Neoptolemus, being invited by both
 parties to act as arbitrator, sentenced Ulysses to banishment for
 bloodshed, and condemned the friends and relatives of the suitors to pay
 an annual compensation to Ulysses for the damage they had done to his
 property. The sentence obliged Ulysses to withdraw not only from Ithaca , but also from
 Cephallenia and Zacynthus ;
 and he retired to Italy . The
 compensation exacted from the heirs of the suitors was paid in kind, and
 consisted of barley groats, wine, honey, olive oil, and animal victims
 of mature age. This payment Ulysses ordered to be made to his son
 Telemachus. and that Ulysses went to Aetolia , to Thoas, son of Andraemon, married
 the daughter of Thoas, and leaving a son Leontophonus, whom he had by

 recorded doings of Ulysses appear to be mentioned by no other ancient
 writer. died in old age.
