Answer:
Leocritus is telling the assembly what will happen if Odysseus comes back.
Step-by-step explanation:
This excerpt is told in Book II of Odyssey, when Telemachus decides to form an assembly in Ithaca in order to discuss the destruction that the suitors of Penelope are causing in his house. Telemachus hoped the assembly would help him get rid of these men. It is at this moment that Leocritus speaks this excerpt. Leocritus meant that even if Odysseus returned home he could not stop the suitors, on the contrary, the suitors would kill Odysseus as humiliatingly as possible.
