Who is the speaker in this excerpt from Book 13
of Homer's Odyssey, and what inference can you make from the tone?
Shall then no more, O sire of gods! be mine
The rights and honours of a power divine?
Scorn'd e'en by
man, and (oh severe disgrace!)
By soft Phaeacians, my degenerate race!
Against yon destined head in vain swore,
And menaced vengeance, ere he reach'd his shore:
To reach his natal shore was thy decree;
Mild obey'd, for who shall war with thee?
Behold him landed, careless and asleep,
From all the eluded dangers of the deep;
Lo where he lies, amidst a shining store
Of brass, rich garments, and refulgent ore;
And bears triumphant to his native isle
A prize more worth than Illion's noble spoil.
