In Homer's "Odyssey," Zeus sends an omen to Odysseus in the form of two eagles that soar above him and his men. The eagles engage in a fierce fight, symbolizing the impending conflict and struggle that Odysseus will face. This sign is interpreted by the prophet Halitherses, who explains that it foretells the defeat of the suitors and the eventual return of Odysseus to reclaim his home and honor. Thus, the omen serves as a divine assurance of Odysseus's fate and the support of the gods in his journey.
The suitors dismiss Telemachus and Halitherses' warnings and continue to feast and disrespect Odysseus' household, showing no regard for their advice or authority. They mock and belittle them, refusing to heed their words.
Halitherses, a prophet in Homer's "Odyssey," warns the suitors of Odysseus that they will face dire consequences for their disrespect and arrogance in courting Penelope. He predicts that Odysseus will return home and exact revenge on those who have dishonored his household. Halitherses emphasizes the importance of respecting the rightful king and foreshadows the imminent downfall of the suitors. His prophecy serves as a reminder of the gods' favor towards Odysseus and the inevitable retribution awaiting those who defy him.
