The answer is his skill as a marksman. Odysseus is one of the heroes from the Trojan
War. He is smart and well trained. When he was lost in the ocean, many suitors
have tried to court his wife Penelope. They had convinced her that he was dead.
When Odysseus was able to come back to his home, he disguised himself as a
beggar with the help of the goddess, Athena.
He was able to wield the bow and arrow in front of his wife’s suitors
and he was able to regain his throne.
