which theme is represented in this excerpt from book 24 of the odyssey?
"in vain old mentor's form the god belied;
'twas heaven that struck, and heaven was on his side."
a sudden horror all the assembly shook,
when slowly rising, halitherses spoke
(reverend and wise, whose comprehensive view
at once the present and the future knew):
"me too, ye fathers, hear! from you proceed
the ills ye mourn; your own the guilty deed.
ye gave your sons, your lawless sons, the rein
(oft warn'd by mentor and myself in vain);
an absent hero's bed they sought to soil,
an absent hero's wealth they made their spoil;
immoderate riot, and intemperate lust!
the offence was great, the punishment was just.
weigh then my counsels in an equal scale,
nor rush to ruin. justice will prevail."
