Which lines in this excerpt from homer’s odyssey depict the theme of overindulgence?

hear, then, the woes which mighty jove ordain'd
to wait my passage from the trojan land.
the winds from ilion to the cicons' shore,
beneath cold ismarus our vessels bore.
we boldly landed on the hostile place,
and sack'd the city, and destroy'd the race,
their wives made captive, their possessions shared,
and every soldier found a like reward
i then advised to fly; not so the rest,
who stay'd to revel, and prolong the feast:
the fatted sheep and sable bulls they slay,
and bowls flow round, and riot wastes the day.
meantime the cicons, to their holds retired,
call on the cicons, with new fury fired;
with early morn the gather'd country swarms,
and all the continent is bright with arms;
thick as the budding leaves or rising flowers
o'erspread the land, when spring descends in showers:
all expert soldiers, skill'd on foot to dare,
or from the bounding courser urge the war.
now fortune changes (so the fates ordain);
our hour was come to taste our share of pain.
close at the ships the bloody fight began,
wounded they wound, and man expires on man.
long as the morning sun increasing bright
o'er heaven's pure azure spreads the glowing light,
promiscuous death the form of war confounds,
each adverse battle gored with equal wounds;
but when his evening wheels o'erhung the main,
then conquest crown'd the fierce ciconian train.
six brave companions from each ship we lost,
the rest escape in haste, and quit the coast,
with sails outspread we fly the unequal strife,
sad for their loss, but joyful of our life.
yet as we fled, our fellows' rites we paid,
and thrice we call'd on each unhappy shade,
nextreset
