The pilgrims are at in the beginning of the prologue.

answer: they were written as a long tale

explanation:

i googled it.

can you share the passage so i can answer the question : )

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.

to show that social not the correct answer!
