If the gods have a pseudo-Christian idea of good then the best thing to do is probably to attempt redemption and to stand ready to deliver vengeance if that fails. Trust but verify.If your world hews closer to a Platonic of Aristotelean idea of good, forgiveness and mercy aren't necessarily virtues; the good thing to do would be to strike him down and endure whatever punishment the gods mete out for killing your own father. Impiety is impiety and it must be punished. For more on this view, see Orestes fate after he slew his mother in vengeance for her murder of his father, Agammemnon upon his return from the Trojan War. He was pursued by the Furies for a while IIRC.</blockquote>
