Calypso is a nymph... 713 01:13:34,286 --> 01:13:37,596 ... and daughter of Atlas, so they say. 714 01:13:41,126 --> 01:13:46,154 - She kept you imprisoned? - She kept me imprisoned. 715 01:13:46,806 --> 01:13:49,274 Without companions, without a ship to go... 716 01:13:51,366 --> 01:13:54,324 Were you so nostalgic? 717 01:13:56,046 --> 01:14:01,803 - That imprisonment, was it hard for you? - By day, yes. But by night... 718 01:14:02,086 --> 01:14:04,998 ... memories would fade away... 719 01:14:05,366 --> 01:14:07,675 ... and I would fall asleep in Calypso's cave. 720 01:14:08,726 --> 01:14:12,924 But when I woke up, the return would torment me like before. 721 01:14:14,126 --> 01:14:19,758 One morning she found me sitting on a seashore and looking at the horizon... 722 01:14:20,766 --> 01:14:26,396 ... and told me: You torment yourself. Your homeland is in the direction of the Great Bear. 723 01:14:32,846 --> 01:14:36,202 Last night the crows croak too long. 724 01:14:38,206 --> 01:14:43,599 You have been sleeping. But suddenly, a seagull flew towards me. 725 01:14:44,606 --> 01:14:50,078 He flew straight into the cave. It seemed that he searched just for me... 726 01:14:50,686 --> 01:14:55,919 ... like someone sending a sign. Do you now what that means? 727 01:14:56,566 --> 01:14:59,524 The wind blew him, he was tired of flying. 728 01:15:00,806 --> 01:15:06,358 He searched for a nest. You could catch him. 729 01:15:06,886 --> 01:15:15,476 You could put him in a cage. - No, he's gone.

And that was exactly... 860 01:33:34,347 --> 01:33:37,657 ... what Odysseus wanted when he build the horse. 861 01:33:38,987 --> 01:33:42,343 He and his companion spawn out of it. 862 01:33:43,507 --> 01:33:47,056 They run to a gate to open it to their troops who... 863 01:33:47,147 --> 01:33:50,184 ... with their ships returned to the beaches... 864 01:33:50,267 --> 01:33:53,657 ... armed to the teeth.

Screams of living people mixed... 867 01:34:04,027 --> 01:34:08,782 ... with the cracking sound of fire. And above the flames I saw... 868 01:34:09,507 --> 01:34:13,739 ... on the highest tower, 2 Achean warriors... 869 01:34:13,987 --> 01:34:16,945 ... holding a small child to his feet. It was Astinax... 870 01:34:18,467 --> 01:34:21,698 ... son of Hector. They raise him and throw... 871 01:34:21,947 --> 01:34:27,499 ... him into the abyss from the high tower. And so in a sad lake of blood... 872 01:34:27,747 --> 01:34:32,220 ... Priamus offspring vanished.

Your help restores me to life. 1069 01:53:45,599 --> 01:53:49,069 Why so much haste Odysseus? Don't you wish to rest for a while? 1070 01:53:50,159 --> 01:53:56,314 Tell us something about you. In 10 years you have... 1071 01:53:56,439 --> 01:54:04,312 ... had many adventures. 10 years is too much. Tell us... 1072 01:54:04,479 --> 01:54:07,516 ... about the adventures of a king who left Troy with an army... 1073 01:54:07,679 --> 01:54:11,592 ... but comes alone on raft. About a man who was considered dead... 1074 01:54:11,799 --> 01:54:16,714 ... and who wishes to be considered dead, since he hid his name from us. 1075 01:54:17,959 --> 01:54:22,032 We bring down the walls of Troy. I sailed with Menelaus and Nestor... 1076 01:54:22,239 --> 01:54:25,356 ... but a sudden storm broke up the fleet. 1077 01:54:25,759 --> 01:54:29,957 With my ships I arrived in the land of Lestrygons. 1078 01:54:30,159 --> 01:54:34,789 My companions started to plunder the land. The Kikonians defended themselves... 1079 01:54:35,559 --> 01:54:40,872 ... and killed a lot of my man. We left 72 unburied... 1080 01:54:41,079 --> 01:54:44,515 ... 6 from every ship. Sailing against Big Dipper... 1081 01:54:44,599 --> 01:54:48,671 ... around cape Malia a strong current throw us... 1082 01:54:48,759 --> 01:54:52,594 ... on the shores of the savage Lestrygonians. The company wants... 1083 01:54:52,759 --> 01:54:56,593 ... to anchor in the harbor, but I wanted to scout the place first... 1084 01:54:56,999 --> 01:55:00,912 ... and find the sentry point. It was justified to move... 1085 01:55:01,079 --> 01:55:04,549 ... but the rest of them, carelessly, landed and... 1086 01:55:04,959 --> 01:55:08,194 ... heared the sound of war. The other cries immediately appeared. 1087 01:55:11,959 --> 01:55:15,713 There wasn't time to loose, and I retreat, but in the harbour... 1088 01:55:15,959 --> 01:55:21,397 ... we saw the giant Lestrigonians throwing huge rocks on our ships destroying them. 1089 01:55:21,959 --> 01:55:26,191 People tried to escape by swimming but they were hunted down by the tridents like fish. 1090 01:55:27,079 --> 01:55:29,957 - And how did you escape? - They couldn't reach me... 1091 01:55:30,039 --> 01:55:33,793 ... because I stayed out of the harbour. - Only your ship remained? 1092 01:55:34,199 --> 01:55:37,316 In the end, yes. We were the last company. 1093 01:55:37,399 --> 01:55:40,436 After the demise of the others, I became even more dear to them... 1094 01:55:40,519 --> 01:55:44,228 ... because they grew up with me, we were friends from childhood. 1095 01:55:44,399 --> 01:55:50,349 Today they are only names. Euriloch, my cousin. 1096 01:55:50,579 --> 01:55:57,377 On deck he was the helmsman, and in combat my right hand. 1097 01:55:57,559 --> 01:56:02,998 He was sensible and wise. Filetor, on Ithaca we hunted... 1098 01:56:03,119 --> 01:56:06,077 ... together. Once a wild boar wound me... 1099 01:56:06,159 --> 01:56:09,913 ... in the thight and I still have a scar. Filetor grasps him... 1100 01:56:10,119 --> 01:56:14,476 ... with both hands, overturns him and stabbed him to death. 1101 01:56:16,079 --> 01:56:20,152 Heraclio, I knew his family and sons. 1102 01:56:25,759 --> 01:56:31,117 Politus, the most strongest of all. Elpenor wasn't strong... 1103 01:56:31,319 --> 01:56:35,437 ... and not qute wise but he was... 1104 01:56:35,639 --> 01:56:39,552 ... wvry dear,more than others, just because he was week. 1105 01:56:42,439 --> 01:56:47,559 And thus from the army which left Ithaca, so few remain. 1106 01:56:59,759 --> 01:57:03,069 I realise how irrelevant things are... 1107 01:57:03,959 --> 01:57:07,588 ... when I saw how the dark forces work... 1108 01:57:07,679 --> 01:57:10,876 ... against our return. - What dark forces? 1109 01:57:11,959 --> 01:57:15,508 Which road would return us in the shortest way to Ithaca... 1110 01:57:15,959 --> 01:57:19,235 ... that we never found? We get lost forever... 1111 01:57:19,319 --> 01:57:23,198 ... on vast sea, without way. When we barely glimps our land... 1112 01:57:23,279 --> 01:57:26,157 ... storm would cast us away to roam again... 1113 01:57:26,239 --> 01:57:29,515 ... till the next storm enrages the sea... 1114 01:57:29,599 --> 01:57:32,716 ... and I'll remember that till the end of my life. It was like... 1115 01:57:32,799 --> 01:57:36,031 ... some invisible giant hand, throwing the ship to the bottom of the abyss. 1116 01:57:36,199 --> 01:57:41,397 You are the great king Odysseus, but still you are only a man. 1117 01:57:41,599 --> 01:57:45,069 And according to what you are saying it seems you are a man who tries... 1118 01:57:45,759 --> 01:57:50,389 ... to succeed alone with reason. Lets ask the gods for us and you Odysseus... 1119 01:57:50,759 --> 01:57:54,957 ... maybe we find our answers and you find your answers. 1120 01:58:24,799 --> 01:58:29,793 -Sacrifices give answer. -What answer? 1121 01:58:30,319 --> 01:58:34,232 Unfavorable. My people is scared. It couldn't interpret... 1122 01:58:34,439 --> 01:58:41,595 ... so you'll. - Not me. I know that Athena was... 1123 01:58:41,679 --> 01:58:44,352 ... always near me during fight in Troy... 1124 01:58:44,439 --> 01:58:48,398 ... thus with her beside me, I always knew what to do. 1125 01:58:49,319 --> 01:58:52,391 But when I was at sea I would hear voices of the gods. 1126 01:58:52,479 --> 01:58:57,348 Maybe thus is my heart restless and I want to know more. 1127 01:58:58,599 --> 01:59:01,352 Why are you hiding about your voyage? 1128 01:59:02,039 --> 01:59:05,156 -Why are you asking about it? -You have survived many things,and you have much... 1129 01:59:05,239 --> 01:59:08,868 ... suffered.We realize that as soon you have arrived... 1130 01:59:09,439 --> 01:59:13,068 ... and we show you our compassion. But if it is god... 1131 01:59:13,319 --> 01:59:17,835 ... who is your enemy, as the omens say, tell us every secret. 1132 01:59:18,039 --> 01:59:21,190 I told you everything, everything I could understand from my... 1133 01:59:21,279 --> 01:59:25,875 ... encounters with people and things. - Did you have encounter which... 1134 01:59:26,039 --> 01:59:28,553 ... doesn't belong to the realm of men? 1135 01:59:31,359 --> 01:59:38,993 - Yes. - When? - One day we entered... 1136 01:59:39,159 --> 01:59:42,117 ... into a river seeking drinking water -- -Please Odysseus... 1137 01:59:42,759 --> 01:59:47,116 ... I would like you to tell us about that first this evening. - Yes. 1138 01:59:49,039 --> 01:59:53,191 We sail in a great river with sharp clifs. 1139 01:59:56,599 --> 01:59:59,238 We searched to anchor, to take some water. 1140 02:00:01,239 --> 02:00:05,118 By the stars I calculated that this was the shore of Lybia... 1141 02:00:06,199 --> 02:00:10,590 ... but the most distant shore from us, on the very edge of Oceanus... 1142 02:00:10,799 --> 02:00:14,647 ... where the Sun sunks into the abyss. 1143 02:00:14,799 --> 02:00:17,147 If this was correct... 1144 02:00:17,319 --> 02:00:20,231 ... then we were drawn away from home, not closer. 1145 02:00:31,559 --> 02:00:36,110 My men didn't know that, but I was restless and worried... 1146 02:00:36,439 --> 02:00:40,910 ... like I have a premonition, and also because we found things... 1147 02:00:41,119 --> 02:00:43,758 ... which looked like someone left them. 1148 02:00:45,679 --> 02:00:49,035 I send 3 men in recconaissance mission in the morning... 1149 02:00:49,199 --> 02:00:52,236 ... just when we arrived. I hoped they will find something... 1150 02:00:52,519 --> 02:00:58,116 ... by which I can navigate. After many hours, those men... 1151 02:00:58,519 --> 02:01:02,034 ... didn't return and we all become nervous. 1152 02:01:03,079 --> 02:01:06,628 I was afraid of a new danger, as their disappearance... 1153 02:01:06,839 --> 02:01:10,388 ... prolonged. I didn't know what to do. 1154 02:01:11,839 --> 02:01:14,990 3 more who won't see Ithaca again! 1155 02:01:16,079 --> 02:01:20,869 They must have fallen into a trap in this savage land. 1156 02:01:34,599 --> 02:01:42,279 Odysseus, we should take a distance from the shores before the night falls. 1157 02:01:58,919 --> 02:02:01,831 If you are afraid, I'll go search for your shipmates. 1158 02:02:02,999 --> 02:02:07,914 I didn't wish to impose my will, I couldn't manage like in Troy... 1159 02:02:07,999 --> 02:02:11,753 ... where I had warriors beside me, not people that are scared for their lives. 1160 02:02:12,999 --> 02:02:16,514 Only by own example I could reestablish myself as a leader. 1161 02:02:18,959 --> 02:02:23,510 - And did they follow? - Three friends we have lost... 1162 02:02:24,399 --> 02:02:29,189 ... and if we would abandoned them to their fate, that would mean that we are united only in fear. 1163 02:02:30,599 --> 02:02:33,397 Fear for our wn survival, fear which isn't friendly... 1164 02:02:33,479 --> 02:02:38,394 ... but only our enemy. Without a goal, without order, there is no hope. 1165 02:02:38,719 --> 02:02:41,472 But accepting this temptation, they followed me. 1166 02:02:50,999 --> 02:02:54,628 As we progress away from the river, The Sun becoms hotter. 1167 02:02:54,999 --> 02:02:58,071 The ground was scorched. We felt dry scent in the air... 1168 02:02:58,639 --> 02:03:02,234 ... the scent of some flower. And so we arrived into a village inhabited by men... 1169 02:03:02,399 --> 02:03:05,516 ... who feed themselves with that flower bitten in mills. 1170 02:03:08,319 --> 02:03:10,389 I have already prepared myself to see my men... 1171 02:03:10,479 --> 02:03:15,678 ... killed or in danger, but instead they sit there among blackskin people... 1172 02:03:15,839 --> 02:03:20,435 ... behaving strangely and dressed as natives. 1173 02:03:45,599 --> 02:03:48,477 Why didn't you return to the ship? Because of this? 1174 02:03:48,599 --> 02:03:53,627 Odysseus, what are you afraid of? 1175 02:03:55,279 --> 02:04:00,558 They offered us their hospitality even they don't know the laws of Zeus. 1176 02:04:00,839 --> 02:04:03,672 Nature teaches them that, The lotus flower grows... 1177 02:04:03,959 --> 02:04:09,192 ... and they make sweet powder from it. Taste, taste it! 1178 02:04:09,679 --> 02:04:13,513 It makes you forget everything like we never need to go from Ithaca. 1179 02:04:18,119 --> 02:04:22,795 Who waits for us there anyway? Who remembers us? 1180 02:04:27,759 --> 02:04:30,990 Your father Egyptius, remember him. Remember your bride that you have left... 1181 02:04:31,079 --> 02:04:34,992 ... one month before marriage. She may raise you a son one day. 1182 02:04:35,679 --> 02:04:39,388 My father is old or dead, my brides sleep with another, 1183 02:04:39,599 --> 02:04:42,955 And my son, even if I had brothers, they wouldn't recognize me! 1184 02:04:43,039 --> 02:04:46,031 -What kind of father am I? -People only find new troubles... 1185 02:04:46,119 --> 02:04:49,316 ... so why then taking risk again? - Even at home suffering awaits us. 1186 02:04:53,039 --> 02:04:59,478 Eat this lotus. We'll stay in peace forever. 1187 02:04:59,639 --> 02:05:03,598 Truly, some divinity brought us into this land. 1188 02:05:04,399 --> 02:05:07,835 As I live,I won't let someone forget his home. 1189 02:05:07,919 --> 02:05:09,750 Don't listen to him... 1190 02:05:09,999 --> 02:05:15,756 Take them to a ship!

Don't listen to them. hey are out of their mind! 1192 02:05:43,759 --> 02:05:46,796 We found people like us. 1193 02:05:47,719 --> 02:05:50,631 As I understand, all what happened... 1194 02:05:50,799 --> 02:05:54,997 ... is that there is a flower which removes memory or wish for it and the past. 1195 02:05:56,599 --> 02:05:59,796 Still, seeing those friends, I dreamt about returning... 1196 02:05:59,879 --> 02:06:02,632 ... and because of the stretching of the ship I have the feeling... 1197 02:06:02,719 --> 02:06:05,677 ... that winds, currents and forces beyond us... 1198 02:06:05,759 --> 02:06:08,671 ... already have drawn us away from known sea routes. 1199 02:06:10,599 --> 02:06:13,238 We sailed for 18 days... 1200 02:06:13,319 --> 02:06:16,595 ... and then came in a great archipelago... 1201 02:06:16,679 --> 02:06:20,433 ... whose islands are near eachother. 1202 02:06:50,159 --> 02:06:54,072 - Why don't you sleep Euriloch? - Why are you not sleeping? What... 1203 02:06:54,159 --> 02:06:56,468 ... troubles you Odysseus? -Nothing,go to sleep... 1204 02:06:56,639 --> 02:06:59,631 ... like others. Tomorow we go to hunt on island. 1205 02:07:02,799 --> 02:07:05,472 Why you need me if you are hidding your thoughts? 1206 02:07:05,999 --> 02:07:09,196 Why you don't tell me what troubles you? 1207 02:07:14,719 --> 02:07:17,950 Sky... sky have no stars... 1208 02:07:18,119 --> 02:07:21,077 ... since we left Lotuseaters. 1209 02:07:22,639 --> 02:07:27,952 Sky is clear, but no constellation visible. Very strange. 1210 02:07:28,239 --> 02:07:31,152 And a sailor cannot navigate if he hasn't guiding stars. 1211 02:07:37,199 --> 02:07:38,212 Odysseus... 1212 02:07:41,299 --> 02:07:44,212 ... we are lost. 1213 02:07:44,399 --> 02:07:48,915 Good sailor is never lost, and danger exist... 1214 02:07:49,079 --> 02:07:53,357 ... only in our minds. Go to sleep. 1215 02:07:55,999 --> 02:07:59,708 One thing more isn't clear: on these islands... 1216 02:07:59,839 --> 02:08:04,310 ... we didn't find any human traces, even people often... 1217 02:08:04,519 --> 02:08:07,829 ... go to sea. Is it possible that they never get there? 1218 02:08:08,719 --> 02:08:13,509 Do they avoid these lands or something hid them? 1219 02:08:14,639 --> 02:08:18,393 - But we did manage to get here. - Yes, but why? 1220 02:08:19,999 --> 02:08:22,911 Many unexplainable things happened... 1221 02:08:22,999 --> 02:08:28,631 ... since we left Troy in flames: quarrel among the heroes... 1222 02:08:28,959 --> 02:08:32,952 ... disperse of the fleet, unnatural winds and storms... 1223 02:08:33,319 --> 02:08:37,198 ... which cast us away from any known seas. 1224 02:08:38,679 --> 02:08:42,957 I don't know Euriloch where we are heading. I say that to you in confidence... 1225 02:08:43,159 --> 02:08:46,231 ... but I beg you not to tell the others. 1226 02:08:47,279 --> 02:08:51,033 You must unite us Odysseus. So few have remain of us. 1227 02:08:51,759 --> 02:08:54,990 Think about us Odysseus, about our ship, and bring us home! 1228 02:09:06,599 --> 02:09:09,067 This land seems very fruitful! 1229 02:09:09,159 --> 02:09:15,268 It's excellent for farming. It's good for sowing... 1230 02:09:15,359 --> 02:09:18,590 ... and also it is inhabitated beside wild goats. 1231 02:09:18,759 --> 02:09:22,832 -Look! - Where? -There, that's smoke. 1232 02:09:25,999 --> 02:09:29,514 -The reassembly squad and we should return backward. -Why? Without to find out... 1233 02:09:29,719 --> 02:09:33,792 ... who lives here? You return alone. 1234 02:09:33,959 --> 02:09:37,349 I am scared.

We can't move the rock which barriers... 1309 02:22:40,702 --> 02:22:43,774 ... the cave entrance and doesn't let us go out. 1310 02:22:45,182 --> 02:22:51,018 You are right, but what I saw eclipsed my mind. 1311 02:22:53,862 --> 02:22:56,899 More than a terror and horror, I was thwarted by impossibility to fight. 1312 02:22:56,982 --> 02:23:01,021 My shipmates prayed. I thought about ways... 1313 02:23:01,102 --> 02:23:03,980 ... to escape the monster. I knew there must be a way, but how? 1314 02:23:04,062 --> 02:23:06,701 The longest night in our lives came. 1315 02:23:12,102 --> 02:23:15,890 The weakest among us succeeded to fall asleep. 1316 02:23:17,622 --> 02:23:22,298 But to me it was gruesome. I couldn't accept such end... 1317 02:23:23,742 --> 02:23:29,612 ... in a dark cave. And in the morning the monster goes out... 1318 02:23:29,702 --> 02:23:32,933 ... with his flock and block the cave entrance. 1319 02:23:33,822 --> 02:23:37,212 Thru a crack, dthe aylight seems as a joke. 1320 02:23:44,422 --> 02:23:50,657 But we have one day of life more, and I was desperately planning. 1321 02:23:52,382 --> 02:23:55,897 What horror to avoid war just to die here... 1322 02:23:56,022 --> 02:24:00,459 ... where courage is useless, and where you can't fight. 1323 02:24:00,542 --> 02:24:03,136 This is all your fault. We shouldn't have listen to you! 1324 02:24:03,222 --> 02:24:06,419 - Don't grumble! You have a short memory. - Let him talk. 1325 02:24:08,742 --> 02:24:10,733 For years we are roaming the seas. 1326 02:24:12,422 --> 02:24:15,812 And are we closer to home? It's Odysseus guilt. 1327 02:24:16,342 --> 02:24:18,458 Odysseus, I don't want to end up being eaten! 1328 02:24:19,262 --> 02:24:22,572 Why didn't you leave us with the Lotuseaters?

They are common people, accomodated to that and in fear for us. 1740 03:19:11,545 --> 03:19:14,981 No,it isn't their fear which separated them from us... 1741 03:19:17,985 --> 03:19:23,423 ... but some of your thoughts.
