Odysseus in the house of Hades
Storyboard Text
- Odysseus followed the darkest and gloomiest of Oceanus's waters to the shores of the dead, soon to enter the River Styx.
- After entering, Odysseus began to dig a trench of which he would place his offerings to the dead in.
- When he finished digging and placed the offerings, Tiresias came up to drink from the trench and started talking to Odysseus.
- You want to know about your return home, but heaven will make this hard for you. Here is my prophecy.
- You will arrive to the Thrinacian island, you mustn't kill the cattle you see. When you arrive home, you shall take revenge against the suitors. Then you shall go to a far-off country where the sea is untold of, where you will bring with you an oar to bury in the ground and a sacrifice.
- Tiresias's Prophecy
- RUN!
- AGH!
- Mother! How is father and my wife, and of what manner is your untimely death?
- After having heard of his prophecy, Odysseus let his mother drink from the trench, and they started talking.
- Oh not too good I'm afraid, he is in very poor health, and for your wife, she is still waiting for you and has not given up hope yet but appears to be distressed. But as for me? I died not of any worldly sickness or endeavor, but instead of a broken heart.
- Odysseus was disheartened at the news of his father, but nonetheless continued talking to his mother, and even tried to hug her, but alas, he couldnot. And while more happened after this, that will be the end of this comic.
- Oh! That is terrible news, I must get back to him as soon as I can! But mother, why can I not lay my hands on you? Is Proserpine playing a cruel trick on me?
- Oh I'm afraid not, that is simply the nature of this place, we cannot touch the living, a truly sad fate. Now go! Get out of this accursed and morbid place as fast as you can!
