Have you been reading and pondering about "The Odyssey"?

If I remember correctly, Odysseus ordered men to tie Melanthius up with rope and left him to simmer in his own agony.

"Did your lust fester for Penelope?" Oh, very nice.

"But you aspired to riches, did you not? In the secret chambers of your sinful heart?" I liked how 'not' almost rhymed with 'heart' if said a certain way--it flowed well.

"So far above beggars." Nice allusion to the fact that Melanthius abused the beggar in the palace, who happened to be Odysseus himself.
