"So, we will devour your worldly goods and wealth
as long as she holds out, holds to that course
the gods have charted deep inside her heart.
Great renown she wins for herself, no doubt,
great loss for you in treasure. We’ll not go back
to our old estates or leave for other parts,
not till she weds the Argive man she fancies."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 2, lines 136-142. Antinous vows that the suitors will continue to devour the wealth and goods of Telemachus’ household until Penelope marries one of them. In this speech to the prince, Antinous shows what a shameless and nasty character he is.
