What does this sentence mean?

Question

「For the entire second half of the poem, Odysseus is back on Ithaca, winning his way, by deceit that only paves the way for force, from the swineherd Eumaios's hut to the center of his own house.」
這句 in :
The Odyssey celebrates return to ordinary life and makes it seem a worthy prize after excitement, toil, and danger. The adventures occupy only four of twenty-four books (or eight if we include Calypso and the Phaeacians). 『For the entire second half of the poem, Odysseus is back on Ithaca, winning his way, by deceit that only paves the way for force, from the swineherd Eumaios's hut to the center of his own house. 』There, and in books 1-4, we see the social disorder on Ithaca that Odysseus's return is to set right. We also see Telemachus, his son, emerging from adolescence and: impatient with all that keeps him from assuming a man's role (his mother as well as her suitors).

What's the meaning of this sentence？

Answer 1

Eh? Which sentence? Looks more like a paragraph to me : P Anyway, if you meant this sentence: " Oddysseus is back on Ithaca, winning his way, by deceit that only paves the way for force, from the swineherd Eumaios' hut to the center of his own house." Then you obviously haven't read the Oddyssey to the end. Oddysseus arrives in Ithaca and visits his loyal subject, the old swineherd Eumaios first in his hut and asks him of what has happened in Ithaca in his absence. When he finds out there are suitors camped inside his house who want his wife Penelope to marry one of them and thereby claim Ithaca as their kingdom, because they all thought Oddysseus was dead and would never come back, Oddysseus asks Eumaios to keep the news of his return a secret and set out to enter his house disguised as a beggar. Inside his house he asks to be given permission to string his own massive bow which Penelope had ask her would be suitors to do in order to win her hand in marriage, knowing only Oddysseus would be strong enough to do it. Oddysseus is able to string the bow and after identifying himself sets about killing the surprised suitors who were all slaughtered violently inside his house which had been locked by his son Telemachus to prevent anyone from escaping.

Answer 2

It means exactly what it says. If you read the Odyssey you'll find that the only safe way for Odysseus to enter his own home was in disguise, as a beggar. Then by enlisting the aid of Telemachus he laid a trap so he could massacre the men who were trying to steal his wife.
So it's deceit paving the way for force, or cunning paving the way for righteous vengeance. Depending how you feel about it...
