— So your ancient Greeks don't believe in an eye for an eye, huh?
— Well, actually, they called it necessary reciprocity. When odysseus returned to ithaca after the trojan war and found that his wife Penelope
had been unfaithful, he murdered all 108 of her noble suitors, and then he slaughtered and mutilated his own servants for allowing the indiscretions to happen.
— Sounds like a man who brought his war home with him then.
— He did indeed. And everyone paid the price.
