Answer: The words provided are pronounced by Antinous in The Odyssey. He is making fun of Penelope's son Telemachus, who intends to get rid of his mother's suitors.
Explanation: In The Odyssey, after Ulysses leaves Ithaca, Penelope is chased by a group of suitors who ask her hand in marriage. Although Penelope does not want to marry any of them, the suitors invade their house and decide to drink all of Ulysses' beverages and all his food. When Telemachus wants to get rid of the suitors, Antinous, who is one of them, pronounces the words provided in order to make fun of Ulysses' son. In that way, Antinous acts as if the suitors were not doing anything wrong.
