El verbo esperar es
to wait
to teach

showing or having an insensitive and cruel disregard for others. (so basically being heartless)

hope this : )

last one is the answer

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.
