In the odyssey Zeus is speaking about the story of Aegisthus death. This is a story about how a man Atrides went to war (Troy), and while at war his wife moved on and started a new life with a man named Aegisthus . When Atrides came home one day to surprise his wife , Aegisthus was at his home and decided as soon as he got in his home he would kill him.Even though he new it meant his own ruin he had still decided to do it. Later after this event Aegisthus was killed as revenge leading to the quote " Now he pays the price, all at a single stroke."(1.79.52)
Zeus then says "Ah how shameless , the way the mortals blame the gods" (1.78.37) . By saying this he is saying the mortals are blaming the gods even thou its really their own fault , They think its faith but really they can control it with the right decisions.
