And yet again
Melantho lashed out at Odysseus: "You still here? –
you pest, slinking around the house all night,
leering up at the women?
Get out, you tramp – be glad of the food you got –
or we’ll sling a torch at you, rout you out at once!"
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 19, lines 70-75. The disloyal and disrespectful palace servant Melantho is furious to find Odysseus-the-beggar still in the palace. She once again abuses him, ordering Penelope’s guest to get out and telling him he ought to be happy with the food he gets. The food does actually belong to Odysseus!
