Who is Halitherses in The Odyssey?
Halitherses appears in book 2 of the Odyssey; he is the best prophet of the group gathered at that time. After Telemachus makes a speech insisting that the suitors leave or they will eventually die in the house, Zeus sends two eagles soaring from the mountains as a sign. The eagles wheel and circle directly over the suitors, fighting fiercely and tearing each other, before flying into town. Halitherses reads this as a sign that everything that Telemachus has said is true: Odysseus will soon return and have vengeance on all the suitors. He thus encourages the suitors to leave as well. Sadly, he is ignored by the suitors, particularly Eurymachus who rebukes him for his interpretation and suggestion. Later, after all the suitors have been killed and the suitor's families have gathered for revenge, he warns the families against taking action against Odysseus. Medon implies that the killings were the will of the gods. Halitherses warns the families that if they go against Odysseus, they will bring evil upon themselves. Only half of them listen.
