In order for me to answer your questions I would need to know Whom you are talking of, what they were carrying and why they were doing it so that I could help you understand as to why it would help them to carry these before mentioned things. <span />
First the old oysseus that athena changed to look like a begger took the challende that penelope gave them which was to string odysseus's bow and shoot a arrow through a bunch of little hoops, then they locked the doors so the men couldn't get out and told the women not to let them out. then they killed all of them. then once all were killed penelope came in and didn't belive it was odysseus so he had to convince her but he did and the heroic journey was finished with odysseus home<span>
