"But the story can’t be true, not as you tell it,
no, it must be a god who’s killed our brazen friends –
up in arms at their outrage, heartbreaking crimes."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 23, lines 69-71. Penelope is unable to believe Eurycleia’s story that Odysseus killed all the suitors. She believes that it was divine intervention, an angry god killed them for their outrageous crimes.
