Street-talk translation

One face!

One fleet!

One war!

One man!

One thought!

One trick!

A scheme to break into Troy!

And torch it, wreck it while they're screaming!

What's the play here?

A gift

for Athena.

We vibe with the same gods,

show some respect for their present.

Drag that thing out of the water!

Take it to Athena's temple.

The war's done.

Face!

Fleet!

War!

Man!

Cut it out!

Not that song.

Mama's boy!

Run, kid,

run!

Just reminding them who owns this wine.

I don't need a song about Odysseus, I want the man himself.

And you're really letting these thirsty dudes crash at his place every night?

In this day and age,

a guy does what he wants, and I'm just doing what I can.

I'm a man now, Mom.

Then kick them out,

break Zeus's rules, give them an excuse to jump you.

I already lost one husband,

I'm not losing my son too.

Dad's coming back. - Where's he at?

It's been eight years since Troy fell,

and like twenty years since he dipped.

Where is he?

He's a guest here, same as you guys.

You calling us beggars?

I'm saying we've been putting up with you for three years now.

We're overstaying our welcome,

only 'cause your mom won't make a move.

She's already hitched. - Odysseus is toast.

What do you know about my dad?

That his meat is tough and his wine is trash.

You've been drinking the good stuff for two years straight.

I know he hasn't shown up.

Not yet.

You're crying for a dad

you never even knew,

like a total loser.

Nobody's ever 100% sure who their dad is.

You can't even be sure about mine.

I knew him.

We grew up watching him hunt.

I signed up for Troy.

He told me to stay put,

and look after you.

But,

Sparta's crawling with Troy vets,

it's a goldmine for intel.

You really Odysseus's kid?

Head to Sparta,

find Menelaus.

He'll talk to you.

The queen wants a word with the new guy.

She's thirsty for the tea.

But don't get her hopes up.

She's got a vibe for knowing if anyone's actually seen Odysseus.

You see this guy?

He's basically blind,

but he'll wreck anyone

who lies about my dad.

Too fast.

How do you know?

You don't need eyes to hear a sloppy combo.

Mentor, go harder on him.

Too fast.

He's as chill as you are!

He only listened to your dad.

Where'd he even find this guy?

They linked up here.

I'll take it. - For your kid?

For hunting.

He had a good eye.

Stay still.

You want a nasty scar?

Why do you make the string snap? - It's fair.

To give the prey a heads-up? To keep it fair.

You weren't sparring, you were hunting.

Hunting's just a fight in disguise.

Smooth, but your games are gonna get you in trouble.

Try again,

less panic, more focus.

You aren't winning just by playing defense.

Bait him into swinging.

How? Hesitate.

Leave yourself wide open. His own attack will be his L.

Did you teach my dad that?

He taught me that.

One.

"You won't always be the biggest or the fastest,

so be the smartest."

What would he do

if he saw these losers in his house?

I can't even wrap my head around what he'd do to them.

There's just so many of them.

You take out two and the rest will fold,

these fake tough guys.

They were supposed to head to Troy, but when Agamemnon came knocking,

their dads hid them away.

He knew Agamemnon's war would be a long, deadly grind.

So he picked his crew by drawing straws.

Name? Sinon.

Draw. - Nah.

Name? - Antinous.

Draw.

Bet.

By drawing straws?

Antinous claims he signed up for it.

They're plotting something.

Your son wants to sub for Sinon.

No way.

He's staying put for his family.

He'll watch out for your kid too. Obviously.

He's coming with me.

He wanted Antinous to babysit me?

Odysseus wanted to save those dads from the shame,

he felt for them.

He loved your mom and you more than any clout.

He knew this would be a long haul.

Did he tell my mom?

- Ask her. - Eumaeus...

Is he ever coming back?

Argos thinks so.

I've never seen a dog hit 20 years.

He's been holding on long after his owner.

My bad for cutting in.

I'm in no rush.

According to the OGs, once I finish your grandpa's shroud,

I gotta get remarried.

Why?

Ithaca's still got no king.

They want some protection.

From who?

From the Sea People.

Those are just campfire stories.

Travelers spill tea about the world and the fall of Troy,

and they're all talkin' about these Sea People attacks.

Who even are these Sea People?

Nobody knows, but the Elders are tryna get us ready.

Ready for what?

Our spot is the GOAT, for real.

Look at this massive crib,

these old-school stones,

just sitting here for these greedy deadbeats to mess with.

The building is whatever,

if you ignore what it actually stands for.

Zeus's law.

Treating people right.

They're just trashing it and ruining everything.

How could you even think about marrying one of those losers?

Because that was a long time ago.

Your dad asked me to.

Agamemnon is the king.

The Trojans snatched his sister-in-law. - Or she just dipped with them.

Either way, people think the walls of Troy are impossible to break.

We're gonna camp right outside that city,

and dare them to come out and throw hands.

And the years will fly by, Telemachus will get older,

and you'll learn how to handle things without me.

Menelaus is gonna give up on Helen.

This is just Agamemnon's excuse

to mess with Troy's hold on all the trade routes.

He's not backing down.

Never.

And what if you say no?

He'll snatch our son.

He wouldn't.

He literally sacrificed his own kid

just to get some good wind.

Did the gods actually ask for her life?

A sacrifice's power

comes from what it costs the person doing it.

That's messed up.

And heartless.

I won't be back anytime soon,

if I even make it back at all.

What if we just ran away?

With your fastest ship and your best crew,

we'd head for the horizon,

hand in hand,

sailing west at sunset,

chasing the sun.

There's a whole world out there.

Agamemnon's revenge

would come for Ithaca.

Do me a favor.

If I'm not back

by the time Telemachus is grown,

promise me

you'll find someone else.

No more sacrifices.

Love isn't a sacrifice.

Yeah, it totally is.

I just don't want you to deal with that.

That's not your call.

Promise me.

And you promise me you'll come back.

What if I can't?

Then I'm not gonna let your ghost make my choices for me.

Take my brooch,

keep it on you always and Athena will get you home.

I don't think that's my style.

If travelers say they saw you,

I'm gonna ask what you were wearing

and I'll know if they're capping.

If the Sea People are actually real,

Ithaca is totally screwed without a king to lead the charge.

I can step up.

Come on.

Pull the string.

That's not fair!

You always say only he could do it.

He let other people try.

He lined up the axes...

Nobody else has pulled it off.

They're straight up ruining us,

so you'll marry one of them before I can take the crown.

Menelaus came back ages ago.

Everyone came back. - Only the ones who survived!

Maybe he's dead.

Then this palace would be mine.

We gotta know for sure,

and I have to hit up Menelaus to find out.

Telemachus, those guys are bad news.

You think I don't know that?

Every night they're tryna bait me into messing up.

And out there, on the water or the road,

they won't even need an excuse to end you!

You don't want me to lead.

You just want to keep me in my place so you can stay queen of Ithaca.

I'm sick of being a queen without my man!

Without your man?

Or just without a king?

And you think you're ready to fill your dad's shoes?

You're just a kid.

Keep it down, Melanthius.

Lose the spurs in the house. You're a cowherd, not a rider.

And you're just a pig guy. Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?

Our boss put me in charge of the shepherds.

We haven't had a boss in forever, you old blind geezer,

and you're just as unwelcome here as this mutt,

Argos.

Argos.

Boss, he didn't do anything.

So you're the one who reeks?

Leave the old dog alone.

Which one? - Both of us.

You tryna throw shade at me?

You really wanted to save my dad's hunting dog?

A hunting dog?

Look at this trash.

Get it out. We're tryna eat.

Can't you see he's in pain?

Then let me put him out of his misery.

Back off!

Did you see that?

Did y'all see that?

He jumped me! I'm in the right here!

Chill!

Don't mess with my kid.

Take it easy, Polybus.

The kid just got heated, have some mercy.

Keep drinking his wine, I'll handle it.

This is my dad's hunting dog.

He's only hanging on to see Odysseus come back.

I'll toss him on the trash heap outside, so he can see him a bit sooner.

The dog stays outside!

Don't be dumb and throw your life away for a dog.

Eurycleia,

get some food to the ships

using people we can actually trust.

This is gonna destroy your mom.

If I stay, I'll have to fight and I've got no backup.

I need info on my dad.

Ithaca will back me if Odysseus is for sure dead.

The suitors are gonna go berserk, you're not coming back!

Tell Mentor to get to the ships before the sun comes up.

What do you want me to tell your mom?

To hold it down as long as she can.

The ship is good to go, the tide is right.

Did I ever tell you that you've got the eyes of a genius, like Athena?

Once or twice.

Aren't you gonna ask where we're headed?

Where are we headed? - To find my dad.

He's still alive, I can feel it in the air.

He's out there somewhere, hurt, ghosting, who even knows?

But he's alive.

Tripping on dreams again?

People drowning

in some

dark AF place.

Firelight hitting the stone. My bad, I spaced out.

On purpose?

Why do the gods have to be so extra and confusing?

Who doesn't get thunder?

Or fire?

A kid's smile, a good vibe for the crops?

You're dodging us.

Peep this.

Who's moving that cloud?

Who's rounding up those birds?

Who's messing with the water?

Who were you chatting with?

Athena hit me up again.

She's telling me to keep it real.

To bounce. - Why bounce?

We've got everything we need right here.

How long have I been stuck here, Calypso?

I've got a home out there somewhere.

I've got someone

in the real world.

How would you know?

I don't.

I just feel it.

This life could last forever.

That's a god thing, not a me thing.

You a goddess or something?

You want to remember? What if the memories just kill your vibe?

Then it was all fake anyway.

Stop snacking on those. - But they're fire.

No more lotus snacks.

What do you actually remember?

Back after Troy.

Troy?

We crushed that war.

And then?

Ten years stuck on this trash shore.

We're going home, baby!

Don't forget the homies we're leaving behind.

We got enough supplies?

We looted enough from Troy.

A pit stop or two won't hurt.

Pull the oars in.

Chill out!

Get the oars in!

We're popping the sail and catching the south wind.

Agamemnon is rowing toward the west side.

Too many mouths to feed.

We'll find a spot to dock.

That's sketchy.

I'm done following Agamemnon's lead.

With a little luck and some wind,

we'll see some of the world and beat Agamemnon home.

Keep the Big Dipper to your right.

Odysseus!

Land ho!

See that?

Lucky you.

Our food stash was running low.

Send a crew to the beach

and ask for three weeks of grub.

What if they say no?

You in a rush to get home or what?

Get your gear ready!

To ask, to trade,

or to just take it.

Why'd they ghost the village instead of just saying hey?

They thought we were the Sea People.

We're just Greeks from Ithaca.

Maybe they know we wrecked Troy.

We're rolling with the south wind.

If we stay on this path,

we're not gonna like what we find.

After years of straight war,

nobody was stopping my crew

from getting back home.

Not even me.

Did something go down there?

Chasing the sun, man.

Land!

Here we go.

Super lucky.

Sheep hang in herds.

Let's tail them.

Someone's living here.

And making cheese.

This stuff is delicious!

And there's tons of it! - Let's bail.

We don't have anything to trade.

Zeus's law, bro.

Does this guy even know about Zeus's law, or Zeus at all?

Everyone knows Zeus's law.

Keep the fire lit

for when the boss gets back.

Back away from the fire.

Scatter!

I think he's out cold.

Hold up.

The rock.

It's way too heavy.

We're trapped.

Tomorrow morning,

when he lets the animals out,

we bolt for the door.

Catch some Z's.

Let's go!

We could jam something in the door to keep a crack open.

Maybe.

But what?

This log.

He'll totally see it.

We'll char the thin end in the fire.

Do we even have...?

How many animals are there?

Like twenty or thirty.

There's too many of us.

On the way out, two of us go at a time.

Or get wrecked.

Keep your heads down among the sheep and split up.

So he only grabs one. - Exactly.

We gotta go out in groups of four, two by two.

Why risk that?

He ate two dudes already.

He's gonna want two more.

What about the body? - What do you mean?

Just leave it to rot?

As snacks for this thing?

We gotta pay respects to our dead, Odysseus.

He died so we could make a break for it. We'll honor him by getting out of here.

Poseidon, get 'em!

He's talking.

Why didn't he say anything before?

Do you talk to ants?

Should we try to talk it out?

I think that ship has sailed.

What are you doing?

Row!

Harder!

Why'd you shoot an arrow at him?

That beast took out good soldiers.

And that beast

was Poseidon's kid.

When we poked his eye out, he screamed his name.

He was a total monster.

I heard him screaming too.

Will the sea be out to get us? And the wind?

How are we supposed to get back if Poseidon's beefing with us?

Stop obsessing over signs and sacrifices.

How many times since Troy have I seen you crying and praying to Athena?

Did she not show us some love?

Take this.

Wear it,

in memory of the guys we couldn't bury.

Help yourself, and the gods will help you out.

After that,

with every rough storm or headwind,

the crew felt like they were cursed.

By the way, where are they?

When are you gonna let me see them again?

They'd help me remember.

Did I even have a wife, kids, a son?

How long have I been here?

A long time.

If I have a son,

how old is he?

How do you talk to a king?

Chill, don't worry.

Keep your mouth shut, and if they ask,

we're just merchants from Crete.

We'll figure out how to approach the king.

Welcome!

Thanks. Seems like you're in the middle of...

This way.

Where are you dragging us?

The king insists on greeting foreigners himself.

Sit.

Not you.

You.

Accept our hospitality like Zeus wants,

before you go telling us who you are.

Perfect timing!

We're throwing a party for my daughter's wedding.

She's off to start a new life tomorrow.

You don't look like much of a beggar. Do you know who I am?

I'm Menelaus,

son of Atreus, Agamemnon's brother,

Helen's husband.

Do you remember who she is?

This face

launched a thousand ships.

Pretty sure there's barely 500 left.

So many dudes died in Troy for that face.

All because your brother was power-hungry.

This one looks familiar.

Ajax,

Patroclus,

Achilles.

I miss them less than this other warrior.

The smartest of the bunch.

Ten years rotting on that beach.

Sinking and tearing ourselves up, until one guy

figured it out.

Odysseus.

You know the story of the horse?

Seen it from the inside?

We were stuck in there for days,

crammed in since the ships dipped.

Odysseus didn't want anyone to know, not even Sinon,

the soldier we left behind.

The first two high tides, people were drowning.

We were just sitting in our own filth.

A gift

for Athena.

We share the same gods,

you gotta respect their gift.

We gotta burn it!

Burn it!

This is a gift for Athena!

This is a gift for Athena!

To the gates!

He waited for a night with no moon to cover the plains of Troy.

Everyone to the gates!

To the gates!

Let's go!

You know the rest.

You moved? You should hear how the storytellers hype him up.

I've heard them.

They weren't there with you.

With your dad, Odysseus.

You look exactly like him.

Where'd you leave him?

In Troy.

The gods backed our righteous win...

Righteous?

They backed our win, but not our trips home.

I made it back after years. He didn't.

Some people regretted coming back.

Tell him

what happened to your brother.

The fate the gods had for him after your "righteous" war.

That he was treated like a hero.

That Agamemnon got back years before us.

How he was greeted by his queen, my twin Clytemnestra.

Tell him...

He's not here because of my brother!

But because of his dad.

I don't know anything about him since Troy.

Nothing?

Or your people?

Agamemnon's crew, randoms, merchants?

You just here to collect gossip and tall tales?

You're in the right spot for that.

Anyone talking about Odysseus?

They say he's loaded, he's broke,

or that he's dead, or locked up. Who's got more info?

Locked up?

What kind of prison

could hold a guy like that?

Tell me what you remember.

The rest will come to you.

The guys kept thinking I'd pissed off Poseidon.

We made it through storm after storm,

we got off track

and got totally lost.

Hey.

We come in peace.

We need food.

Food!

Don't you get it? - He's just a kid.

In that case, what are his parents like?

Don't trip.

Hurry, back to the ships!

My bow!

Wait.

Row! - Wait!

Go!

Row! - Wait!

Let's go!

Get this bucket moving!

Turn left,

stick to the coast.

What if they have ships? - We gotta bail.

We can't just sail around blindly with no food.

We're lost.

We need to stock up and find our way.

To the left.

There!

Smoke!

Follow the shore, we're beaching the boats!

Oars up!

Send a crew to the beach.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Leave someone to watch the boats.

We'd rather you stay.

Us?

All of us.

The ones who made it.

Is this a mutiny?

Figure it out yourself.

Give me the bow, I'll grab us some food,

even if you come back with nothing.

Don't trip.

Everything's chill, we aren't gonna hurt you!

If I bow down to you.

We won't mess with you.

I'm Eurylochus. And you?

Circe.

We need food.

I've got food.

Loads of it.

I'll handle it.

Your weapons and gear,

toss 'em in the back.

You like my stash?

Why you got so much?

Who knows when randoms might show up?

These guys,

such gluttons.

Never satisfied.

Eurylochus!

They're gone! Anyone here?

Hand over your blade.

Stay by the boats!

C'mon, let's go!

You guys come by sea?

You flying solo?

My pigs are starting to vibe with you.

You hungry?

Leave your weapons outside

and get some of that Zeus-style hospitality.

Grab a pig, slaughter it for dinner.

I don't know who you are, but you're no peasant.

Let it be.

This stew smells fire.

It'll be enough for both of us.

Who said it was just us two?

Who else is around?

That's the million-dollar question.

You claim you're alone,

but nobody rolls up here alone.

Is that right?

You can only reach this place by sea.

Where's your crew?

I'm trying to find them.

Anyone else been here?

There's so much food. - You doubting me?

You?

A clearly starving traveler who won't touch the food,

who claims he's a sailor

but rocks the armor of a legit warrior,

and who disrespects the laws of Zeus,

packing a dagger where he's invited.

You've got a sharp eye.

Sharpened by the gods.

They feeding you secrets?

Truths,

sometimes.

Do they know where my guys are?

Your crew? - Exactly.

They'd know.

You gonna tell me?

Maybe.

If you hand over that dagger.

But why would I help a liar who didn't respect my hospitality?

Your guys showed up and now they're gone.

They dipped?

Leaving their rings behind?

Bad move.

No! - What's with this bird of yours?

Drop the dagger or I'll choke her out to get answers.

Leave her alone. - She family?

Your mom?

Your sister.

You turned her into this, and my crew into pigs.

I didn't turn your crew into anything, look at them!

This is what they actually are, peep it!

These gross

and animal instincts you love so much in battle!

They were out raping and pillaging everywhere because of you.

You really think they were forced to do it just to listen to you?

A leader confuses his men's savagery for discipline.

You don't seem that clueless,

but you still sent them here,

where I live by myself.

A pack of trash soldiers

with empty bellies and hot blood!

Did you think they'd respect me

in my own house?

Look at them, get to know your crew!

Did they hurt you?

They would have.

They just want to go home.

Let 'em go home.

Turn back.

Turn back.

Put your disguise back on.

Turn back.

Put your disguise back on.

Odysseus.

We're heading back on board, stocking up on supplies.

Leave the meat.

Don't let this witch live.

Who gave her those powers? Your gods.

Get water.

We're setting sail at dawn.

Why are you leaving her like that?

We understand each other better this way.

Sorry if we offended you.

Help us get home,

to find the trade routes.

You're way too lost.

What's that supposed to mean?

The blind Tiresias knew...

Only the blind Tiresias knows the way.

Tiresias? In the underworld.

Nobody sails to hell

and makes it back.

You will.

Sail north, toward the twilight.

Then head into the lands where the river of fire

meets the river of ice.

Dig a pit there,

pour in the blood of a sacrifice,

call up the dead

and figure out how to get home.

Just you,

not your men.

You cursing them?

Not a curse,

just the facts.

Your men don't want you to defy the gods,

but the gods say only you are making it back.

Then I'll defy the gods.

Sinon.

This is Odysseus.

Sinon,

this is Odysseus.

Let him drink, Odysseus,

and you'll hear his story.

Odysseus?

You lied to everyone.

Did you have to lie to me too?

You needed to believe.

Why'd you volunteer?

You don't remember?

I begged to take Antinous's spot,

when they snatched him up.

He'd paid your family to take his place.

If the Trojans don't let me live,

if I don't make it back,

get this to my pops.

Tell him everything I did.

Odysseus?

Feel free to hype it up a bit.

Didn't you trust me with the real deal?

I was down to die for you!

When you're dying, you speak the truth. You had to believe it.

I died because you lied.

I know, I was right there with you.

I heard you gasping out that lie with your last breath

that won us the whole war.

I was so close I could feel your blood.

How does it help me

to find out you only got in that horse thanks to the dead?

Which dead ones?

Lots of vets from your battles are wandering around here.

The dead hang out to mourn the living

and welcome the new guys.

My dad's ghost found me.

To give you some peace? - Ghosts don't give peace.

They ask about the living who did them wrong.

My pops died broke,

all alone,

begging for scraps from creeps like Antinous.

Did Antinous screw you over?

And he's probably doing the same thing to you.

How so? - Who's looking out for your wife and kid?

My wife's not my problem.

Ask Agamemnon about how his homecoming went.

Is Agamemnon around?

You gave me a proper burial in Troy,

thanks for that,

but you left others behind.

I did what I could.

When you get back,

grab a ship,

sail west into the unknown until you hit land.

And then offer a sacrifice

and show your crew some respect.

Still got the lot?

Obviously.

If you make it back,

make Antinous pay ten times over for being such a jerk.

Count on it.

My king.

Odysseus.

What are you doing here?

You were supposed to be heading home a winner.

You, Odysseus,

my best general, shouldn't get trapped like me.

Are you just as lost as us?

My bad luck was that I actually made it home,

that my gorgeous wife greeted me,

got me cleaned up,

scented,

softened up,

only to learn a brutal lesson:

that I'd poisoned her heart,

that she was into someone else.

Her and her side piece had been plotting to ice me for years.

Odysseus?

My son Orestes,

did he get revenge for me?

How would I know?

I'm still trying to find my way home.

Don't trip like I did,

don't just waltz through the front door expecting cheers and medals.

Roll up on the low,

take your time,

scope it out.

You get me?

I know the plan. - Only partially.

This prophecy isn't for them.

Get back on the boat.

Head southwest,

give those sirens a wide berth.

Their vibe will drag your crew down and everyone's toast.

I'll handle that,

I'll plug their ears with wax.

After the sirens,

you've got a choice between the whirlpool Charybdis and the beast Scylla.

The whirlpool kills everyone,

the cliff monster only takes six.

But if you're too stubborn to lose a few, everyone's gonna die.

I'll make the call.

Eventually, when they're starving and turning on you,

they'll want to hit the shore where the sun god keeps his cattle,

and they're gonna slaughter Apollo's herd.

Zeus is gonna wipe them out as payback.

See?

I'll keep them in line.

Why do you care more about these guys than the ones already gone?

I can still save them from the gods.

But not from themselves.

What's this?

Your crew who didn't get buried.

They want you to feel their shame.

Hurry!

Is this our fate?

Is this our destiny?

We made it out of Hell,

leaving so many of our boys behind.

I've gotta save the rest.

What happened to them?

Did they just leave me here?

Are they coming back?

Did you attack them?

Did you attack them?

Eat.

You told me to kill the lotus vibe.

Just for tonight, so you can catch some Z's.

And tomorrow, when you're good, it'll all come back to you.

You'll remember your crew,

your family.

A wife?

I've got a wife?

Don't trip, Melantho!

No stranger's getting in here.

Even with this wall between us,

after three years I'm not really a stranger to you anymore.

You trying to wife me up or ruin my rep?

Melantho's on the down-low.

That's exactly why I'm here - because I'm looking out for your rep.

We all see you grinding.

I'm making progress, slow but steady.

But every night you undo all your work.

Leave us.

You can't expect her to stay loyal to a boss she doesn't know.

I thought she was down for me.

She will be, once you marry me.

The help

needs to save their loyalty for what's coming,

and this house is looking for a new head of the table,

just like Ithaca is looking for a king.

The king of Ithaca is coming back.

Doubt it.

Did you know that when I was a kid I wanted to tag along to Troy?

He didn't mention it to me.

Odysseus said no.

He knew Ithaca needed a future without him in the picture.

And you saw me as part of that future.

I won't tell the other suitors about

what you're pulling.

Get back to work.

Time to let him go.

Why even bother marrying a woman who's stuck on someone else?

Your loyalty to Odysseus

is honestly one of your best traits.

I'm feeling you.

I want you to pick me and just dead this whole thing.

Don't front like you aren't tired

of all the waiting and the guessing.

You've been holding it down

year after year,

after year.

Time to put yourself first,

and get back to living your life.

That's what Odysseus would want.

I'll look out for you.

My queen.

And my son?

The throne is his. He's the heir.

Unless we have a kid of our own.

Where's Telemachus?

Out in the country,

visiting his grandpops.

She's capping,

he sailed.

He's out looking for his dad.

Where?

Sparta,

to see Menelaus.

Do we really have to go there?

You're always way too loud, Melanthius, especially for a cowherd!

He was creeping on us!

I was just looking for Argos.

He stays where he is. Head back to the farm.

We'll send Melanthius to go grab your pigs.

Nobody asked for you here, old man.

I only listen to my mistress.

Does she even know who you are?

Beat it!

Telemachus is definitely gonna roll through that temple in Pylos.

Catch him there with your crew.

And leave you here to flirt with the queen?

No way.

He needs to be taken out on the way.

Irus has a scheme.

I want him and his boys dead in a ditch with their throats slit.

Telemachus and his crew will be ready for bandits on the road,

but if those bandits are hiding in the temple...

Bring me a piece of him for proof.

His nose.

You'd only know him by his nose?

And his ears too.

Who trained you?

My dad's swineherd.

His swineherd? His day-one servant.

Odysseus left his best guy behind?

He was always the smart one.

Agamemnon only took advice from him.

Should've listened a bit more.

What happened to your brother?

His wife played him,

she offed him.

What'd he do?

His son Orestes handled them both.

He killed his own mom?

He was getting payback for his pops,

but don't trip,

your mom is nothing like Clytemnestra.

Maybe,

but the suitors talked the elders into forcing her to remarry.

It's not a good look for the throne to be empty.

You know the word on the Sea People.

Did they hit you? - Nah, but trouble's brewing.

Sparta's ready.

And Ithaca?

She's gotta be able to pull an army together.

The throne needs a boss.

So that's where the real fight is, kid.

You bailed on your problems

and left your mom to deal with those suitors.

Should I hire some muscle?

Go home and wipe them out?

Kill a bunch of rich, powerful guests?

You'll get exiled.

So what am I supposed to do?

Take them out without breaking Zeus's law.

I gotta take the throne

and figure out if Odysseus is even alive.

This isn't about some dad you never even really knew.

You need to step up like a leader,

no matter where Odysseus is.

You gotta remember.

Nah.

I'm cool without the truth, I'm vibing here with you.

Then why are you collecting scraps to build a raft?

Remember your crew,

your mission.

I've heard about the sirens' song.

Plug their ears with wax.

Not mine. Tie me to the mast.

Why? - To hear the sirens.

Bad move. Nobody's ever walked away from that.

I'll be the first.

Even if I'm begging you,

don't let me go until we're clear.

Check their ears.

Double food for the first one who says, "I hear it!"

What was that song about?

Everything a guy could want,

and then

everything we wish we'd never wanted in the first place.

It was like that sweet itch you can't stop scratching,

before you realize it's deep under your skin, totally out of reach.

Then the itch just drives you crazy.

It said the things we want the most

are the most off-limits,

and the most off-limits stuff

is what we already had

and lost.

It was the song of all the promises I broke.

It told me I don't really wanna go home.

It's bubbling up!

Straight ahead!

Charybdis,

that crazy whirlpool.

Get the sails up!

Hurry!

Pull the anchor!

Into the open sea?

It's already sucking us in.

Go north!

Through the strait? - It's way too tight.

Hit the whirlpool,

ride the edge to get some speed and pop out the other side.

Stay strong, we'll make it.

We're going through the strait. The strait!

Oars in!

Starboard side,

ready to stop!

Wait for my signal!

Oars out!

We made it through!

We actually did it!

We did it.

Thank the gods.

Stay on course!

Hold that line!

You knew

and didn't say a word!

You would've said no to going through here.

And these guys would still be breathing!

We all would've been toast!

You didn't have the right!

That was totally my call and my responsibility!

That whirlpool would've swallowed every single one of us.

At least we made it out. - Not all of us!

What else did Tiresias say?

I'm landing there!

We can't, this is the Sun God's turf!

We need to fix the ship!

The boys are cooked, we lost six dudes already!

We're going on land to crash for a bit.

You're all gonna die!

What was it Tiresias told me?

That you're all gonna die,

if you slaughter

the Sun God's cattle that live on this island.

You're all gonna die.

In that case,

we land, but we only eat our own stash.

We grab some fruit,

get some water, and that's it!

Swear it.

All of you, swear it.

See that?

The wind is pushing us right there!

We rest, fix up the ship,

and bail as soon as the breeze shifts.

Grab that rope!

Did your guys stick to their word?

Yeah.

For a while.

But the wind never changed.

That same breeze that got us to the shore so easy

kept us stuck there.

And we started running out of food.

Run!

Did you really think you could sneak a meal and fool the Sun God?

To fool you.

I'm not the problem,

I was just trying to keep you guys alive.

Tiresias warned you, Circe and the gods warned you too.

The gods don't make any sense.

Who doesn't get what suffering is?

Blood, death?

Do you see losing a man as bad luck or as something you brought on yourself?

I see it as me failing them.

What if they died because they failed?

I'm their leader.

I brought them here.

And who brought you?

Why do you think you're bigger than the gods and take all that on yourself?

Why don't you want to go back?

What were you even hoping for?

They had zero food left.

Have some mercy!

Because I was merciful, we're on this piece of junk!

I warned you! - That's facts.

And we decided to drown rather than starve to death.

This is our shot.

The wind died down!

This calm was just a trap to get us into Poseidon's ocean

under Zeus's watch.

Steer against the wind!

Pray to the gods!

Steer against the wind!

Steer against the wind!

Give it up to the gods!

Pray to Poseidon!

Beg for a break!

My last memory was Zeus's heavy hand.

Eurylochus!

I don't know what happened to them.

You know.

The fate you called for them.

I washed up on your shore all by myself.

You washed up on my beach

with a piece of your boat and none of your crew,

half-dead, out cold.

I looked out for you, the lost guy,

for days

and weeks.

I knew the lotus would help you wake up easy,

that you'd have it rougher in your body than in your head.

And it worked!

You were really feeling it,

you ate it up no problem.

And while I took care of you.

Thanks.

I started catching feelings.

How long have I been here?

I told myself I had to wean you off it,

that you were strong enough to remember.

Talk to me, Calypso. - You were happy.

And you were happy too.

We were vibing for years.

For years?

Seven years.

You made me eat lotus flowers to keep me locked up.

I saved your life.

I healed your body,

but I couldn't bring myself to fix your mind.

You were happy,

but your heart

was always somewhere else,

and it was only a matter of time before your head caught up with it.

How...

The lotus fogs the brain

and kills your drive, but it doesn't change who you really are.

You weren't ready to go back without knowing the 'why.'

Now I am.

Just like I saw.

How?

You kept something gripped tight in your hand those first few weeks

and you'd call out.

Mostly Athena,

but sometimes you'd scream out another name.

Penelope.

Help me get back.

That's what I'm doing.

You're a guy who tries to run his own fate.

But you've got zero power over this one.

You gotta give in to the storm,

give in to Poseidon,

take your punishment.

Zeus won't let him kill you.

Stop fighting, let go, and just live.

This is a leap into the unknown,

that you haven't taken yet, Odysseus.

Odysseus?

Where am I?

Don't you recognize home?

Zeus blesses you, strangers.

How many of you?

Half a dozen.

Need some food?

And supplies

for the road.

Where you headed? We need pigs.

We're going to Pylos.

You guys pilgrims?

Do we look like pilgrims?

My eyes aren't great.

Zeus says I gotta feed you, but I can't sell these pigs.

Don't trip, we ain't paying.

Tell your mom I said hey.

Tell her I'm sorry

for Troy and for everything that went down in my name.

I'm sorry I don't have any news on your dad.

But you did learn something new

about what kind of man he actually is.

Now I'm even more hyped to see him one day.

Where are your guard dogs at, old man?

I'm burning what's left of 'em.

Can Zeus fix you up, stranger?

Did they try to jump you?

Did those dogs actually protect your shepherds?

Nah, we burned his brothers first.

What's the deal with Ithaca?

It's dark times.

Zeus's laws are totally trashed,

a kingdom with no king since my master died.

Your master?

Odysseus.

The big hero from the Trojan War.

But Odysseus is still kicking.

Another bum with some fake hope!

Chill out!

Telemachus...

Telemachus?

He's in a bad spot, I can't help him.

Other people in Ithaca should be down to help Odysseus's kid.

The palace is run by those posers.

Nobody's loyal to Odysseus anymore.

What about the queen?

The beautiful and smart Penelope,

being held hostage by these scrubs

and about to be forced into marriage,

what's she gonna do? Especially without her son around?

Drink.

What kind of trouble is Telemachus in?

He's heading back from Sparta.

Those guys sent hitmen to take him out at the temple in Pylos.

Hook me up with some food for the trip.

You're never gonna catch up to those hitmen.

If I hit Pylos before Telemachus, I can give him a heads-up.

Why are you helping him out?

Don't get salty about my answer.

I served with Odysseus in Troy. - For real?

He was a demanding boss. But fair!

Solid and worth following.

Did you love him?

Like my own kid.

He ain't dead.

Will he be back?

Soon.

To get his get-back.

The worst kind.

I'll do the talking. Let's keep your identity on the low.

Then we shouldn't have brought guards.

They'll be handy if we run into drama on the way.

I've got a message. Hold up!

Eumaeus sent me!

Bring that beggar to me.

IvFlix

lyFlix.

Watch free HD movies and series online

onlyflix. To.

Your crew stays here, and your weapons too.

Zeus welcomes you, strangers.

You guys been traveling long?

Not really.

You looking to crash here tonight?

We're here to make a sacrifice to Athena.

And we're open to any hospitality you've got.

Fine. The beggar stays outside.

He's got a message for me.

Did Eumaeus send you?

Yeah, boss.

What's the message?

It's top secret.

These guys are...

These guys are priests.

Beat it, old man.

Get lost, stranger.

I let one old guy slide this week,

but he was blind. I ain't letting...

Not bad for a beggar.

Nobody starts as a beggar.

Put this priest robe over your armor.

Help me move him. - We gotta leave him.

To slip away unnoticed.

That's not how we respect the dead. - This is how we stay alive.

He was my mentor.

And maybe Athena in disguise. - It was Mentor.

Once we're in the clear, we'll head to the unknown west to honor him.

Those were the posers' goons.

More are coming. Let's bounce.

In the middle of the night? - Beats staying here.

Mentor is at the old Athena temple.

For now, let's honor him with a fire.

Into the fire!

So, beggar, you knew Mentor?

Like I said, I wasn't born a beggar.

You've got the eyes of a wise man, eyes like Athena's.

Don't go looking for gods in people, you'll just get let down.

Then tell me who you are.

My name's Sinon,

I'm an old soldier who fought for your dad in Troy.

You knew my dad?

I've been on his side forever.

So he's still alive?

He's alive.

But where is he?

He's super close

and sent me as a scout to see what's going on here.

My mom won't buy it! - Don't say a word to her.

Nothing at all?

Tell her,

that you've decided she needs to find a new husband.

Is he testing her? Does he not trust her?

Nah,

but she's got every reason to have moved on.

Are there any loyal people left?

A few.

When Odysseus shows his face, everyone will fall in line.

You need to get all the suitors in the palace.

That's never a problem.

Did you bring any gifts from Menelaus?

Yeah, on my boat.

Cool.

Go back as a prince,

throw a huge party.

I'll be there.

What are you gonna do there?

I'm gonna beg.

You see things a lot clearer from the bottom.

How many suitors are there?

Dozens.

- But if his crew is like you... - He's got no one.

Are you the only one?

And you.

Telemachus is back. - What?

Telemachus is back!

Who said that? - Everyone!

Where's Telemachus at?

My queen, you should probably stay upstairs!

Is it for real?

He's back!

I'm here,

let's celebrate tonight.

If there's even any food left to celebrate with.

Don't sweat it, my loyal suitors will spoil us for your homecoming.

Glad to see you're in one piece.

Glad you're feeling better.

Time to get you back to the palace.

What'd you find out about your dad?

Nothing.

Just war stories, nothing about what happened after Troy.

My bad, mom.

In Sparta, they're only talking about the disaster coming,

the dark times the Sea People are gonna unleash, totally trashing Zeus's laws.

So it's for real,

our whole vibe is falling apart.

Menelaus says we're sitting ducks with no king on the throne,

so we brainstormed a plan.

A plan?

To kick out those suitors,

you gotta make a move.

You want me to get hitched again?

Then the other guys will just take each other out

and I'll only have one enemy left.

I'm coming into my own, I'll tell the elders Odysseus is toast,

and Menelaus will convince 'em to hand me the throne.

You're ditching your dad, and I'm walking out of here with one of these snakes.

What a plan! - Come up with something better then.

Let's lock it all down, set it ablaze

and burn these losers!

You think if I get remarried, things will just go back to normal.

This whole world is done.

And in the next one,

they aren't giving up power to you or Odysseus.

If he shows up, he's gonna have to wipe them out,

just like you'll have to.

If I off them,

their families will want payback and I'll be exiled.

And without me, the throne is gone.

Cause only a dude can sit on it.

"An empty throne"?

I've been sitting on this empty throne for twenty years.

My smarts, my years of experience

don't mean squat next to the hair on your chin.

You want peace

or payback?

You want Odysseus!

Sing.

Oh, Muse, a face!

A face!

A fleet!

War!

In Troy!

Sing, oh Muse, of a man!

A man!

An idea!

Cunning!

Eumaeus, go on ahead.

Argos.

You're gonna bury him on the cliff.

Where you two first met?

You're Odysseus.

You're my dad.

I'm just a beggar.

And you,

are the solid,

awesome son

of Odysseus.

A son who,

when you finally link up,

is gonna be his pride and joy.

Welcome home,

stranger.

Because the darkness of winning

hides the people who tell the stories

and turns us all into blind poets and bums!

Show some hospitality like Zeus wants.

Give the stranger some food.

Nah, boss.

I'll hit the tables with my bowl.

Did you invite some gross parasite again?

Just another beggar.

Let's off him before he charms the Elders.

How?

Call him out,

make him grab a weapon.

He ain't our little pup to mess with anymore.

So we come back tonight and take him out.

Beat it. Please.

I'm starving. - Get lost!

Can't you be generous with someone else's grub?

There's no room in your bowl.

For sure.

Here.

You think I've got something for you?

Actually, I do have something for you.

You've got something for me?

He's got something for me!

What could a gross,

old moocher like you

possibly have that I'd want?

Actually, this is yours.

I was told to give it back to you.

It ain't mine.

Is that so?

Where'd you find it?

Don't turn your back on me!

Antinous.

Show some respect to beggars. - That's Zeus's law.

Zeus's law?

Is he a god?

Is he a god in disguise?

Tell us!

Are you a god,

you suck-up?

I'm a vet from the Trojan War.

A Trojan War vet.

What's your name, vet?

Sinon.

Does that name ring a bell?

With it, I honor the bravest of the young guys.

Sinon?

Wasn't he your shepherd's kid?

Doesn't mean anything to me.

You tried to replace him.

Where'd you find this?

Where you're gonna be pretty soon.

Meaning?

With Hades.

Enough!

The party's over!

Let's go.

It's not mine!

The queen wants to chop it up with you

once the hall clears out and the fires are lit.

111

Good evening, traveler.

My queen.

Melantho,

let Eurycleia wash the stranger's feet.

No need.

My husband always insisted on treating guests like family.

Have you heard of my husband, Odysseus?

For sure.

From the songs.

I was at Troy, noble lady.

The songs must sound like a joke to you.

They make me tear up...

What are you crying about?

For everything that's gone.

For the lives lost?

And for the years,

and for everything else.

Did you know Odysseus at Troy?

Yeah.

Did you notice anything weird

about his clothes?

A strange brooch.

Strange?

Beautiful,

but weird!

Describe it.

I'll grab fresh water.

It was a gorgeous

gold brooch,

showing Athena wrapped in vines.

Did he rock it a lot?

He never took it off.

How'd you manage to make it back, unlike Odysseus?

I haven't made it back yet.

Why?

Getting back home isn't always a vibe.

That's true for both Odysseus and Ios.

The Odysseus I knew

would've found a way back to me,

regardless of the storms.

What if the Odysseus you knew is gone for good?

What if,

one night,

in some random city,

what he saw

made him realize the home he knew

was never coming back?

What if,

when he crawled out of the horse's gut

and busted open Troy's gates,

he saw how ten years of pure rage

could wreck a whole city in a single night?

Come on, everyone!

Hurry!

We'd left them

a gift,

a peace offering,

which they took

straight to their place.

We totally trashed what was most sacred

between people,

and turned the fight...

Smash their idols!

Into a manhunt.

Burning down Troy's walls

meant turning the world to dust,

his own place included.

And if he knew,

that night,

walking through the fires

of pure chaos and misery...

And during the parties after, dripping in sweat,

if he knew exactly

what he'd done?

What you all had done.

One man's idea,

one man's scheme,

to break Zeus's law

for good.

We lived in a world of fancy palaces,

of trades

and deals,

clueless to how good we had it,

until we smashed it all.

You're the Sea People.

Yeah, my queen.

Ignoring Zeus's law is spreading like a virus,

our whole world is tanking.

Maybe he didn't want to

see the wreckage of his choices

anywhere, especially not back home.

But Odysseus is still out there

and will show up when it really matters.

Either way,

I've spent way too long living in his ruins.

Invite the suitors at sunrise, get the weapons ready.

One suitor's gonna be stoked soon, and the rest will be out for blood.

No weapons allowed for the contest

and lock the doors.

I'm marrying whoever wins my challenge.

How are we gonna deal with them?

Not 'we'.

Their blood is on my hands.

And you'd risk getting kicked out.

And you wouldn't?

Get the weapons out of their reach.

Got it.

Even without weapons, there's a ton of them

and you won't be strapped.

I'll be strapped.

Your mom's got it covered.

Grab some trusted people,

to stash the weapons upstairs.

Hurry, put the weapons away.

Fast.

Zeus seems pretty invested in how this goes down.

But what's the contest?

For years,

while my husband's been ghosting,

you've taken over this place for your parties,

acting like you're trying to win my hand.

Listening to you guys partying,

how you brawl,

how you bribe my servants

and trash my house,

I kept hoping Odysseus would show up and see all this.

But last night,

I realized,

that since he's still not here,

he's not coming back.

That's why,

I'm ready to marry whoever here,

can string this hunting bow

and nail a shot through these twelve axes.

Step up,

show us what you got!

Eumaeus?

Who's going first?

Hand me that bow.

It's pointless.

For you.

When I was a kid, I saw Odysseus do it like it was nothing.

Then do it.

I'm waiting my turn.

Why don't we warm up and grease the string?

It's gotten all crusty over the years.

Your turn.

It's pointless.

My queen has the final say,

Odysseus is irreplaceable.

Some of us always knew that

and would've followed that legend to Troy,

if he'd asked.

But he didn't make it back,

so pick the best of us,

us, who couldn't handle your test.

I didn't fail.

Kick these beggars out!

Doors are locked until the contest is over.

The contest is over.

I wanna try.

You're getting on our nerves!

He's got the right to try.

If you're bailing on your turn, let him have it.

You're disrespecting your mom's wish.

Her wish is for all of you to burn.

This guy's way too old.

Let's see this 'pro' in action.

Moocher!

Give it up, old man!

Come on, buddy,

that's enough.

Let him try.

It's you, Odysseus.

You better stay put.

Go!

Is it him?

It's him!

Go guard the stash!

Where are the weapons? - Upstairs.

Go grab 'em!

What are you waiting for?

He's gonna murk us all.

Watch out!

I told you! Too loud, cowherd!

Yeah!

Grab the swords!

Grab the shields!

The spears!

Use the spears!

Thought you were gonna take us all out?

Especially you.

End him.

Father.

When you're in Hades,

tell my people,

that I'm heading west to pay my respects.

And tell Sinon,

that I got even for the disrespect.

And now?

Did you take 'em down?

Is he toast?

We totally wrecked the trust between people.

And through the dark times coming up,

the stories of Troy

will just be songs.

Odysseus, babe!

Odysseus,

my love,

you're back.

Finally,

in the last stretch

to see my sweet Ithaca

one last time.

You don't get to do that.

No, please, I waited forever.

You don't get to die!

Not dying,

exile.

Telemachus is gonna be king.

We're heading to the unknown west

to honor my people

together.

With your fastest boat,

with your best crew,

we're chasing the horizon.

Chasing the sun.

Why will these stories only be sung?

Only songs will keep the memory of those who could write.

Society's gonna reset.

A new day's gonna light up this dark world,

and we'll end up forgetting our mistakes all over again.
