I’d chosen the quote from Zeus from the first from Book I line 32-43:
Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame upon us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given, as now lately, beyond what was given, Aigisthos married the wife of Atreus’ son, and murdered him on his homecoming, though he knew it was sheer destruction, for we ourselves had told him, sending Hermes, the mighty water, Argeiphontes, not to kill the man, nor court his lady for marriage; for vengence would come on him from Orestes, son of Atreides, whenever he came of age and longed for his own country.
I see this as a foreshadowing of what is to come for the suitors; death. But who is the one to kill them, Telemachos or Odysseus? In the quote Zeus was referring to Orestes, the son who killed, but in the Odyssey, it’s Odysseus who was the one more wronged and is still alive to take his own vengeance. Another question is why do you think there is so much reference to Orestes?
