Recognizing the enormity of conflict can often be difficult. In lines 41-73 of Book 22 of the Odyssey, Homer uses diction and juxtaposition of language to contrast the calm and flattery tone of Eurymachus with the harsh and stark tone of Odysseus, and to illustrate the magnitude of the conflict, as well as dialogue to illuminate conflict between the suitors and Odysseus. Homer utilizes these literary techniques to underscore the tension between the characters in the passage. Book 22 begins with Odysseus confronting the suitors about his dismay at them for occupying his palace with Penelope while he departed. Eurymachus then uses a calm tone full of flattery in an attempt to mitigate the conflict with Odysseus.
