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 i swore, and menaced vengeance, ere he reach'd his shore; to reach his natal shore was thy decree; mild i 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 ilion's noble spoil.
