	Part I. Chapter IV. Padraic Colum 1918. The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		An old man who was there, Halitherses by name, a man skilled in the signs made by birds, told those who were around what was foreshown by the combat of the eagles in the air.
		But no one in the council took the side of Telemachus and Halitherses and Mentor—so powerful were the wooers and so fearful of them were the men of the council.

		He told the assembly that Odysseus be with his friends soon, and that a bloody end will come to the 108 suitors, and that this would mean disaster to others on the island also.
		We are also told that Halitherses warned Odysseus before he set out for the Sack of Troy, that he would return in the twentieth year, after much suffering, having lost all his comrades and when he returned home no one would know him.
		Even though we are told that Halitherses knows a lot about omens, we see that not all even in those times believed in what he had to say.

		Mentor (page 100), like Halitherses, is sympathetic to Odysseus and his house.

		Halitherses, the elder prophet, argues that the suitors merely got what they deserved for their wickedness, but Eupithes, Antinous’s father, encourages the parents to seek revenge on Odysseus.
		Their small army tracks Odysseus to Laertes’ house, but Athena, disguised again as Mentor, decides to put a stop to the violence.

		This was what he said, and more than half raised a loud shout, and at once left the assembly.
		But the rest stayed where they were, for the speech of Halitherses displeased them, and they sided with Eupeithes; they therefore hurried off for their armour, and when they had armed themselves, they met together in front of the city, and Eupeithes led them on in their folly.
