What life was like under the dictatorship
Answer:

If Odysseus rushes in immediately, he would be killed by the large number of suitors. In order to win the upper hand, he disguises himself as an old man in order to calculate and plan out how to get rid of the suitors and reveal his true self to his wife. This involved great patience and humility, as being an elder man of a lowly status gave him a sense of humiliation from the treatment of those around him.
