Storyboard Tekst

  • Reaching the Island/Telling the crew not to enter the Island
  • "Listen to me, my comrades brothers in hardship, let me tell you the dire prophecies of Tiresias and Aeean Circe too; time and again they told me to shun this island of the Sun, the joy of man. Here, they warned, the words disaster awaits us. Row straight past these shores--
  • The crew swears to not touch the cattle
  • The crew swore the oath that that Odysseus required and vowed they'd never harm the herds.
  • Eurylochus convinces Odysseus to stay
  • No, let’s give way to the dark night, set out our supper here. Sit tight by our swift ship and then at daybreak board and launch her, make for open sea!’
  • 'Eurylochus, I'm one against all-- the upper hand is yours. But swear me a binding oath, all here, that if we come on a herd of cattle or fine flock of sheep, not one man among us—blind in his reckless ways— will slaughter an ox or ram.
  • Odysseus doesn't want to risk being on the Island
  • One month later Eurylochus convinces the crew to slaughter the cattle
  • ‘Listen to me, my comrades, brothers in hardship.All ways of dying are hateful to us poor mortals,true, but to die of hunger, starve to death—That's the worst of all. So up with you now,let’s drive off the pick of Helios’ sleek herds, slaughter them to the gods who rule the skies up there. If we ever make it home to Ithaca, native ground,erect at once a glorious temple to the Sungod, line the walls with hoards of dazzling gifts! But if the Sun, inflamed for his longhorn cattle, means to wreck our ship and the other gods pitch in— I’d rather die at sea, with one deep gulp of death, than die by inches on this desolate island here!’
  • After Odysseus allows the stay at the Island the crew vows to not touch the herds
  • The crew slaughters the cattle
  • The crew prayed, slaughtered and skinned the cattle. Then they made libations with water, broiled the innards and burned the bones and tasted the organs.
  • As Eurylochus urged on the crew cheered and Odysseus allowed for the stay in the Island
  • Odysseus prays to Zeus
  • 'Father Zeus! the rest of you blissful gods who never die--you with your fatal sleep, you lulled me into disaster. Left on their own, look what a monstrous thing my crew concocted!"
  • The crew kept their hands of the herds until supplystarted to run out
  • Odysseus is scared now that he knows what's going to happen since the crew touched Helios' cattle
