The oracle of Telemus, a seer who was blind, prophesied that Odysseus would return to Ithaca after a long absence and that he would take vengeance on the suitors who had overrun his home. He warned that Odysseus would come back in disguise, and that the suitors' fate was sealed due to their disrespect and mistreatment of his household. This prophecy ultimately foreshadowed the climactic events of Odysseus's return in Homer's "Odyssey."
