.... stating that “A sweet smooth journey home … is what you seek, but a god will make it hard for you.” From what can be read, Tiresias feels no need ‘sugarcoat’ what he is telling for two simple reasons.

He notes "Distracted by many cares, the human mind does not enter into itself thorough the memory; be clouded by sense images, it does not come back to itself though memory…Therefore, completely immersed in the things of sense the soul cannot re-enter itself as the image of God.
