“It's like tenting your house. And yeah, the termites should die and probably the roaches ... nobody's going to shed a tear. But you might get some little poor rabbit or frog that was in your crawl space and that's going to die too because the house needs to be cleansed because it's rotten.”

Yeah, there's two ways you can look at that. That's absolutely right. Like, is he just as a practical matter that starts a cycle of violence with now their families and stuff like that? And you'll see that will be alluded to in the later books. Not just alluded to, it becomes like a final plot point. But then also, like, does he think he might deserve it, but he has to do it anyway? That's what I mean. Like, because they've talked about the suitors as if they have been from the start, like an infestation on the house. Like, even just the sheer numbers of them are like, you know, just sort of getting out of control. They seem to multiply. And they are, as you said, defiling the house. They're making it impure. You know, the stuff that he does at the end after the battle with the fumigating and scrubbing and the sulfur, like, you know, it's like tenting your house. And yeah, the termites should die and probably the roaches. You're not, nobody's going to shed a tear. But, you know, you might get some little poor rabbit or frog that was in your crawl space and that's going to die too because the house needs to be cleansed because it's rotten. It's being eaten from within. And so like, sometimes I think of it also in those terms. Doesn't mean it's not just, certainly doesn't mean that someone like Antinous or Eurymachus doesn't deserve to die because I think they do. But, you know, there's some other questions about some of the other things and what Telemachus does to the slave girls. Yeah. Melantheo, man. Oh, man.
