The omen during this chapter during the time
Telemechus speaks before the
elders. He is trying to make his case to
the council regarding the suitors of his mother Penelope who have moved into
his house. Though his presentation moves
the elders, the Antinous the main suitor blames Penelope for taking too long in
making them what for her to make her choice.
The omen occurs when two eagles are seen hovering over the council and
were locked in combat. Halitherses sees this as a sign that Odysseus
will return.
