What are antinous and the others doing in odysseus' house?

They are want to marry Penelope.

Explanation:

Penelope is the wife of Ulysses, king of Ithaca, who has been away for 20 years, fighting in the Trojan War. Penelope waited faithfully for her husband, though she had to tolerate the harassment of innumerable suitors, who wanted her as his wife and stayed in the house where she lived with Ulysses, trying to conquer her and persuade her to marry one of them. Among these suitors was Antinous.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
