It takes an avareg person 5 minutes to walk to the store and 5 more minutes to return. SO WHY THE HECK IS IT TAKING MY DAD 6-7 YEARS TO COME BACK

T-T

because milk is the hardest to obtain

It may take someone longer to walk somewhere and back

Explanation: Many people have different walking speeds some people may walk fast, others walk slow. It all depends on how fast the walking in who's walking.

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.
