Odysseus: Keep your joy in your heart, old dame; stop, ... do not raise up the cry. It is not piety to glory so over slain men. These were destroyed by the doom of the gods and their own hard actions...
Odysseus reminds Eurykleia that the suitors were not killed for personal pleasure, therefore, they should not rejoice at the fallen men.
