THE ODYSSEY
based on Homer's epic poem
2
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:41,020
EPISODE FIVE
3
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,040
I am only a stranger among you.
4
00:04:46,888 --> 00:04:49,600
- My friend, no one is a stranger
among the Phaeacians...
5
00:04:49,660 --> 00:04:53,780
This is the dawn of our people,
our city belongs to the future.
6
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:56,750
Whoever happens
to set foot on our land...
7
00:04:56,750 --> 00:05:00,000
...will be treated as equal,
and if the Gods wish him to stay...
8
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,300
...he will be honored and rewarded...
9
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:04,720
...up to his own worth,
like any of us...
10
00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:07,710
...as long as he shares
our life of peace.
11
00:05:08,170 --> 00:05:13,420
I tell you as a brother, Odysseus :
stay, become one of us.
12
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,480
- The exiled are always
tempted to settle...
13
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,420
...I stayed one month at Aeolus's...,
and one year at Circe's...
14
00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:28,780
- Circe? Who is Circe?
15
00:05:40,970 --> 00:05:45,130
- Circe is a magician who sings
and weaves like only goddesses do...
16
00:05:45,250 --> 00:05:48,530
...she is a daughter to Helios,
the Sun god, and to Perse.
17
00:05:49,220 --> 00:05:54,660
But when we reached that island,
I could not imagine Circe's witchcraft...
18
00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:57,555
...my men had recovered
their strength and their hope.
19
00:06:37,180 --> 00:06:41,490
After so many days at sea,
scorched by the sun and the salt...
20
00:06:41,620 --> 00:06:45,510
...the green wall along
the beach promised us rest...
21
00:06:45,820 --> 00:06:48,668
...shade to lay down,
fresh meat, ripe fruit,
22
00:06:48,692 --> 00:06:51,280
and fresh water to
quench our thirst...
23
00:06:51,310 --> 00:06:53,820
...but the forest made me wonder...
24
00:06:55,780 --> 00:06:58,000
...what mystery was
hiding behind the trees?...
25
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,150
On the morning after we landed,
I took a decision...
26
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,170
...I split my men into two squads...
27
00:07:04,370 --> 00:07:08,110
...one led by me,
the other by Eurylochus...
28
00:07:08,730 --> 00:07:13,510
... while one would explore the island,
the other would guard our ship...
29
00:07:15,170 --> 00:07:17,750
- Who will decide
which squad goes exploring?
30
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:19,800
- Chance alone will decide.
31
00:07:22,530 --> 00:07:26,330
...I will not impose my will anymore...
32
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:30,680
...we endured too much division,
and I took too much blame...
33
00:07:30,750 --> 00:07:32,666
...for going to the god Aeolus
on my own.
34
00:07:32,770 --> 00:07:36,350
...I shall no longer act without
your support whatever the situation.
35
00:07:38,260 --> 00:07:45,060
Eurylochus, the gods will sort us out.
Let them chose.
36
00:07:48,130 --> 00:07:50,420
Black stays, white leaves.
37
00:07:51,260 --> 00:07:54,130
- Whatever, Odysseus.
I will be sorry to go without you.
38
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,820
Thus Eurylochus departed.
39
00:07:57,820 --> 00:08:00,533
It was the first time
my dear friend acted on his own.
40
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,770
We waited for them.
A whole day went by.
41
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,640
...dusk came, and then night...
42
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,260
At dawn, they had not returned...
43
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,510
- Odysseus!
44
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:39,420
That was Eurylochus, alone...
45
00:08:39,980 --> 00:08:42,480
...words would not
come out of his mouth...
46
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,300
...such was the turmoil in his heart...
47
00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:46,940
...he could only weep.
48
00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:49,950
- Where are your companions?
- Something awful, Odysseus!
49
00:08:50,420 --> 00:08:51,910
- Go on! What happened? Speak!
50
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:54,750
- I don't know, Odysseus,
I don't know...
51
00:08:54,755 --> 00:08:57,480
...the forest became dark and strange
- How that, strange?
52
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,222
- We were walking, and then,
this awful thing happened!
53
00:09:00,950 --> 00:09:06,220
- Calm down, please!
Where have you left your comrades?
54
00:09:06,260 --> 00:09:09,220
Before this already, I saw them
becoming sad and fearful.
55
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:12,750
The grip of fate was always tighter.
56
00:09:13,550 --> 00:09:17,350
- Alright, Odysseus, but you caused
these hazards...
57
00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:19,860
...that fell back upon you,
and your friends...
58
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:22,420
- I tried to save us,
I had no other choice!
59
00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:25,710
- I was not blaming you, Odysseus
- I just wanted to know...
60
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,660
...as we progressed into the forest,
the trees became sparse ...
61
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:32,488
..their leaves were quivering, as if
animals were hiding behind...
62
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:37,370
...we felt their presence,
without ever seeing them...
63
00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:44,020
...then suddenly, we saw high walls,
all covered with moss...
64
00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:48,000
...what seemed like remnants
of some ancient palace...
65
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,340
...beyond those walls, other walls
appeared endlessly in front of us...
66
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:55,640
...there was no way out
of this labyrinth.
67
00:09:56,110 --> 00:09:58,680
...the men were exhausted,
dropped themselves on the ground...
68
00:09:58,930 --> 00:10:01,510
...I was still walking ahead,
when I heard ghastly grunts...
69
00:10:02,170 --> 00:10:06,170
...I turned around,
and could not believe my eyes...
70
00:10:06,570 --> 00:10:09,970
...our friends were there indeed,
but transformed into pigs!
71
00:10:10,350 --> 00:10:13,710
...I stared at them terrified,
and heard a voice singing...
72
00:10:13,730 --> 00:10:16,840
...a lady appeared among the trees,
she came near the pigs...
73
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:18,970
...and she touched them, laughing.
74
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,330
- And what did you do ?
- I fled...
75
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,080
...the walls opened as by magic...
76
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,600
..and there I was, back on
the path we had followed.
77
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,950
- Alright. Lead me to this path.
- Stop! Where are you going?
78
00:10:35,550 --> 00:10:39,020
- I want to see by myself!
- Please, let's get away from here!
79
00:10:39,260 --> 00:10:42,770
...let's flee and not look back!
- Stay here, if you ran out of courage! !
80
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,130
Stay, and stop whimpering!
81
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,240
From his first words,
I felt an irresistible attraction...
82
00:10:52,530 --> 00:10:56,530
- Were you not afraid?
- No, curiosity was stronger than fear
83
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,620
The harder fate was,
the more hardened I became.
84
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,640
I was now used to permanent challenge...
85
00:11:26,350 --> 00:11:30,480
The island had a mild climate,
and my progression was easy...
86
00:11:30,530 --> 00:11:35,510
...I longed to hear that lady singing,
even though I was wary...
87
00:11:35,620 --> 00:11:40,840
...my heart and mind grew impatient
but I kept as cautious as I could.
88
00:11:50,370 --> 00:11:53,860
- Where are you going alone,
on this unknown path?
89
00:11:57,310 --> 00:12:00,730
You know your travel mates
were transformed by a witch...
90
00:12:00,750 --> 00:12:03,600
...into vile animals
and you may think you will free them.
91
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,260
But are you sure your fate
won't be the same, Odysseus?
92
00:12:08,860 --> 00:12:12,350
- Who else but me will free them?
93
00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:18,460
Who are you? Why are you on my way?
How do you know my name?
94
00:12:19,370 --> 00:12:23,080
- Don't speak your name in this forest,
because here lives Circe...
95
00:12:23,370 --> 00:12:26,420
...her home is all around,
in any tree, on any leaf...
96
00:12:26,770 --> 00:12:30,370
She will try to turn you into an animal,
as all the men she meets...
97
00:12:30,930 --> 00:12:32,840
...but she will fail.
98
00:12:32,930 --> 00:12:35,310
...then she will remember,
I had warned her myself...
99
00:12:35,310 --> 00:12:38,710
...that one day, a traveler called Odysseus
would land on her shores...
100
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:42,200
...to teach her what a goddess
cannot know, whatever her might is...
101
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,820
...the desires, pains and emotions
of every human.
102
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:51,260
...Look behind, can you see
this herb growing on the rock?
103
00:12:52,370 --> 00:12:54,370
Pick it up.
104
00:12:59,710 --> 00:13:01,570
You can't?
105
00:13:01,620 --> 00:13:03,480
It is easy though...
106
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,460
...eat it, and you will be immune
to Circe's philter...
107
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,860
...without fear, you will drink it,
as many have done before...
108
00:13:13,150 --> 00:13:16,840
...Circe will observe you in disbelief...
109
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,800
...you shall draw your sword,
and will feel the urge kill her...
110
00:13:21,150 --> 00:13:24,170
She will be overpowered,
and will invite you to her bed.
111
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,860
You will not refuse her,
because you have to save your friends...
112
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,280
...but be careful, Odysseus...
113
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,000
...remember she is a goddess,
and you cannot free them without her...
114
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:39,200
...the flower only protects you
from her spell.
115
00:13:49,710 --> 00:13:51,640
- What are you doing? Wait!
116
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:00,020
Hermes, the messenger god,
vanished among the trees...
117
00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:05,770
- Did he tell you his name?
- He didn't need to, I knew it was him...
118
00:14:06,060 --> 00:14:09,170
..my heart was pounding,
I was thinking about Circe...
119
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,480
...and the philter she would offer me...
120
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:15,370
...and I wondered what face
she would take to deceive me.
121
00:15:30,170 --> 00:15:32,310
- Stranger, what are you looking for?
122
00:15:34,930 --> 00:15:39,200
- A house -
Yours maybe?
123
00:15:42,350 --> 00:15:46,260
And where is it?
Maybe out here in the woods...
124
00:15:47,020 --> 00:15:49,040
Look around...
125
00:15:51,170 --> 00:15:53,860
...all those who searched
their home eventually found it here...
126
00:15:58,150 --> 00:16:00,170
- What are you doing in the woods?
127
00:16:00,170 --> 00:16:03,480
- I am waiting.
I was told a man would come...
128
00:16:03,930 --> 00:16:08,280
- Who is he? What's his name?
Tell me about him.
129
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,330
...your waiting would feel shorter...
130
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,350
Maybe I know him, I come from afar,
I have known many places and faces...
131
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,460
...tell me his name,
I sailed the seas, we might have met...
132
00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:29,040
- Your cunningness is known even here.
Don't you guess?
133
00:16:29,550 --> 00:16:31,460
Stir the fire, will you?
134
00:16:46,088 --> 00:16:48,088
Cross there!
135
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,000
This is the path to the house
you were looking for.
136
00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:54,750
Jump...
137
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,080
- Should I really?
- Isn't that what you want?
138
00:17:36,110 --> 00:17:38,170
Penelope!
139
00:18:16,088 --> 00:18:17,466
Come!
140
00:18:20,330 --> 00:18:22,310
Sit here...
141
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,000
Come!
142
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,400
You will feel immense relief
once you drink this.
143
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,240
- What were you thinking of then?
144
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,280
- Of that flower with bitter seeds
that should save me...
145
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,320
...if Hermes had not lied to me
146
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:18,080
- You are turning into an animal.
You feel no pain...
147
00:19:18,260 --> 00:19:24,740
I did feel pain, and it became unbearable.
148
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:32,710
A fire was burning in my chest,
as if two forces were pulling me apart...
149
00:19:34,660 --> 00:19:38,170
- Go to the pigsty...
To the pigsty!
150
00:19:44,980 --> 00:19:48,000
I saw Circe's defeat on her face.
151
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:50,740
She went from amazement to despair...
152
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,460
All the prophecies of Hermes
came to fullfilment.
153
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,970
Now, it was Circe's turn to suffer.
154
00:19:57,110 --> 00:20:01,060
...she screamed and twisted,
possessed by hate...
155
00:20:01,060 --> 00:20:05,820
...and as Hermes had foretold,
I had a sudden urge to kill her...
156
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,170
...I barely restrained
and saw her turning...
157
00:20:10,170 --> 00:20:12,170
...into a woman...
158
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,060
I was saved. She realized
I had a greater power than hers.
159
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,840
- You are Odysseus. I had been foretold.
The warrior come from Troy...
160
00:20:25,060 --> 00:20:29,020
...the only mortal not to get tamed...
161
00:20:32,530 --> 00:20:36,350
Well, Odysseus, kill me.
What are you waiting for?
162
00:20:36,350 --> 00:20:38,620
- My companions...
163
00:20:38,620 --> 00:20:40,620
...I want my friends back...
164
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,860
- Is that all?
- Yes...
165
00:20:45,860 --> 00:20:49,550
- Is that all you want?
- You turned them into animals...
166
00:20:50,970 --> 00:20:53,280
..and men you will give me back...
167
00:20:55,460 --> 00:21:00,130
- Why?
- Because they are men.
168
00:21:01,910 --> 00:21:04,000
- Your words are strange...
169
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,660
- I feel responsible for their lives,
do you understand, Circe?
170
00:21:11,770 --> 00:21:16,300
- Not yet, Odysseus.
I don't know the feelings of humans...
171
00:21:16,970 --> 00:21:20,970
...but I see you are determined,
and now I must comply.
172
00:21:25,770 --> 00:21:31,200
- I entered Circe's magical world,
without yet being aware.
173
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,130
When I had left the ship
to rescue my friends...
174
00:21:34,220 --> 00:21:37,730
...I ignored I would lose my way
into the surreal...
175
00:21:57,770 --> 00:22:00,930
- See how ugly
your former companions are...
176
00:22:01,150 --> 00:22:03,860
...do not mind, they ignore
how they look or where they are...
177
00:22:03,860 --> 00:22:06,880
.. for swines ignore the fears of men...
178
00:22:06,930 --> 00:22:10,480
...they have no need for you,
open your yes and see.
179
00:22:10,660 --> 00:22:14,020
If you want, you may give them
back their former shape...
180
00:22:14,130 --> 00:22:17,300
...but think twice before you decide.
181
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,220
- I want them as men!
182
00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:35,060
They seemed to awaken
from a long slumber...
183
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,620
...their faces and eyes were those
of infants, clueless and vulnerable...
184
00:22:40,340 --> 00:22:42,620
- Did they look like before?
185
00:22:42,930 --> 00:22:47,140
- Yes, but with a strange expression
in their eyes.
186
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,620
...as though they came back
from very far.
187
00:22:51,150 --> 00:22:53,820
- Could they understand
what had happened with Circe?
188
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,130
- Fear of the unknown is human.
Couldn't you soothe their troubled minds?
189
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,220
- I should have right away
spoken to them like a friend would.
190
00:23:03,460 --> 00:23:08,020
But I was stunned. No sound
got out, my tongue was sealed.
191
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,170
Something unknown
had set between us for the first time.
192
00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:14,130
When I moved towards them,
they moved away.
193
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,530
- Odysseus!
194
00:23:40,820 --> 00:23:42,840
- She was very attractive.
195
00:23:53,980 --> 00:23:57,020
- And you abandoned your friends,
and your yearning to leave...
196
00:23:57,110 --> 00:23:58,620
...for that woman?
197
00:24:01,580 --> 00:24:06,060
- No, it is not right to suggest
I abandoned them.
198
00:24:06,060 --> 00:24:09,730
They ran alone through the woods,
and found their way to the boat
199
00:24:09,820 --> 00:24:12,970
I caught up with them on the shore,
and implored them to come back...
200
00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:16,170
...but Eurylochus intervened,
and would not let me speak to them...
201
00:24:16,170 --> 00:24:17,770
...like a beast, he pounced on me...
202
00:24:17,820 --> 00:24:20,710
- Traitor! You want to take us
back to the pigsty?
203
00:24:20,750 --> 00:24:23,020
Have you already yielded
to that ghastly witch?
204
00:24:23,020 --> 00:24:26,660
Remember the Cyclops!
Your madness was lethal to several of us!
205
00:24:26,750 --> 00:24:29,330
Then I drew my sword, and even though
Eurylochus was my cousin...
206
00:24:29,420 --> 00:24:32,100
...I threatened to cut his throat.
207
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,240
...but I saw them all so helpless...
208
00:24:44,970 --> 00:24:48,260
...that I feared to confuse
their mind even more...
209
00:24:48,350 --> 00:24:52,080
I kept to myself for a whole year
as long as I stayed at Circe's.
210
00:24:52,220 --> 00:24:55,110
- You stayed with her...
for a whole year?
211
00:24:55,110 --> 00:24:57,110
- I am not sure.
212
00:24:57,420 --> 00:25:01,950
I lost track of time in Circe's house...
213
00:25:02,130 --> 00:25:05,060
...but down at the beach where
my shipmates remained...
214
00:25:06,380 --> 00:25:09,740
...days, months and seasons were passing.
215
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,440
- Your friends are toiling,
and I could give them all for nothing.
216
00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:39,420
Look at this vineyard...
217
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,110
They work hard to grow it
and they will soon harvest...
218
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,550
...yet, in my house, wine is flowing,
all they would have to do is drink...
219
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,820
...without any effort,
without grapes, sun or rain
220
00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:00,660
How much they have started!
This cabin for example, this orchard...
221
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,680
- No Circe, it is not ingratitude
if my men keep away...
222
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,880
...they are common people,
they are scared of you, of us...
223
00:26:11,060 --> 00:26:15,540
- No, Odysseus, what scares them
and makes them keep away...
224
00:26:17,370 --> 00:26:23,370
...are dark thoughts on your mind,
can you prove me wrong?
225
00:26:23,910 --> 00:26:26,660
- You know all
of my thoughts, don't you?
226
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,330
- Come!
227
00:26:37,620 --> 00:26:41,100
- Odysseus! Odysseus!
228
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,770
- What's going on? Why all these screams?
229
00:27:18,660 --> 00:27:21,420
Tell me what this means, Eurylochus!
230
00:27:21,550 --> 00:27:23,950
- It seems you forgot Ithaca, Odysseus.
231
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,930
You promised to return us all home,
but your words went with the wind!
232
00:27:29,330 --> 00:27:32,800
- Remember I am the king!
- No, you are no longer king of Ithaca...
233
00:27:33,580 --> 00:27:36,300
...neither the king,
nor even a citizen of Ithaca!
234
00:27:43,540 --> 00:27:48,380
- Odysseus! Odysseus!
235
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,620
- Where are you?
236
00:27:50,750 --> 00:27:53,370
It was only an eerie dream
but it afflicted my soul...
237
00:27:54,420 --> 00:27:58,700
...my companions reminded me that
the time of return had come.
238
00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:00,800
The memory of my homeland
came back...
239
00:28:01,060 --> 00:28:03,680
...that what their cries meant to me...
240
00:28:04,710 --> 00:28:08,530
Now I had to gather the strength...
- ...to quit Circe?
241
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,840
- First, to tell her the truth.
- You loved her, right?
242
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,480
- I couldn't do anything without her.
That was the effect of her spells.
243
00:28:18,660 --> 00:28:20,970
Even to abandon her,
I needed her help.
244
00:28:23,730 --> 00:28:25,600
- I'm leaving you, Circe...
245
00:28:32,570 --> 00:28:38,750
- I know you don't love me,
you couldn't even if you wished.
246
00:28:38,750 --> 00:28:40,750
That is my destiny.
247
00:28:42,140 --> 00:28:46,710
Only the astray
and the desperate arrive here...
248
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,240
...and I cannot expect love
from any man.
249
00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:54,840
None would ever dare or care,
all they demand is oblivion...
250
00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:03,330
...to rest in peace around Circe
crouching like animals...
251
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:09,200
...waiting to die without pain,
to pass away without knowing...
252
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,200
You understand why all men
had meant the same to me...
253
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,770
I did not press you to stay.
Go if you please!
254
00:29:20,170 --> 00:29:22,530
You will leave by your own will,
just as you came.
255
00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:27,730
Remember, I told you to cross the fire,
and you did...
256
00:29:27,730 --> 00:29:31,060
...I did not force you though!
257
00:29:32,130 --> 00:29:36,310
Why ask for permission
when I cannot refuse?
258
00:29:36,750 --> 00:29:38,750
You want to torture me?
259
00:29:52,620 --> 00:29:58,000
Be honest, if you wanted your friends
to turn back into humans ...
260
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,910
...you chose the risks of life for them.
261
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:10,800
- I know, but we just cannot
escape the fate allotted by Zeus ...
262
00:30:11,020 --> 00:30:15,020
...he puts the love for our
homeland in our hearts.
263
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:23,240
- Are you aware my power does
not reach beyond this island?
264
00:30:24,540 --> 00:30:31,370
...and that by leaving, you too will
lose the powers I gave you?
265
00:30:32,750 --> 00:30:37,680
She acknowledged my departure
was coming, but tried to warn me...
266
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,680
...against the troubles
I would bring on my friends...
267
00:30:42,710 --> 00:30:47,150
...against the dangers
she doubted I would overcome...
268
00:30:47,420 --> 00:30:48,750
..and I was thankful for that.
269
00:30:48,970 --> 00:30:52,620
- Odysseus, when you
arrived to this island...
270
00:30:53,020 --> 00:30:55,860
...did you know what you would find?
- No.
271
00:30:55,950 --> 00:30:59,240
- And when you searched me
and found me...
272
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,110
...going through the forest alone...
273
00:31:03,370 --> 00:31:07,200
..did you just want to save
the lives of your companions?
274
00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:12,130
.. or to become the only mortal
to learn about the secrets of heaven?
275
00:31:12,530 --> 00:31:16,440
You crossed an invisible line.
There is no going back.
276
00:31:16,620 --> 00:31:21,640
Your next effort is to dive
at the bottom the abyss...
277
00:31:22,170 --> 00:31:24,170
- What abyss, Circe?
- Listen...
278
00:31:25,860 --> 00:31:29,240
...the path you choose to return home...
279
00:31:29,460 --> 00:31:34,130
...goes beyond the oceans,
where the home of the dead is.
280
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:41,200
Only there, you may learn
what you so anxiously wish to know.
281
00:31:41,370 --> 00:31:46,170
And now behold,
you will enter the realm of shadows.
282
00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:09,370
- It's a great privilege for a mortal
to visit the realm of the dead.
283
00:32:09,910 --> 00:32:14,000
- Odysseus, you will have to recount
your extraordinary experience...
284
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,510
...the travels you made us share
are about to end.
285
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,370
...now your dear homeland
is not so distant anymore.
286
00:32:21,820 --> 00:32:27,300
In Erebus everything is infinitely distant,
because memories fade away...
287
00:32:27,950 --> 00:32:33,620
There is the realm of shadows:
shadows of maidens with aching souls...
288
00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:37,860
...or shadows of warriors slain by spears.
289
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,110
I obeyed Circe's words:
290
00:32:41,740 --> 00:32:45,680
...you shall sacrifice a black lamb,
and Tiresias will drink its blood...
291
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,950
And you will pray:
Gods of the Hades...
292
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,310
...and you, the dead...
293
00:32:54,350 --> 00:33:01,020
...who dwell in this hopeless place...
294
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,550
...if I ever return to Ithaca, I swear...
295
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:08,820
...to sacrifice the fattest calf
and to cover the altar with offerings.
296
00:33:09,020 --> 00:33:14,400
...to Tiresias, I'll offer a black wooled
ram, the strongest of our flock...
297
00:33:41,510 --> 00:33:49,820
Get back. Don't come near.
Don't test my pity.
298
00:33:51,730 --> 00:33:54,710
I must speak only with Tiresias.
299
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:08,860
- Let me drink...this blood.
- Mother! What are you doing here?
300
00:34:30,710 --> 00:34:33,550
- Oh son of Laertes...
301
00:34:36,340 --> 00:34:39,860
...offspring of the Gods,
cunning Odysseus...
302
00:34:39,910 --> 00:34:46,440
...why have you left the sunlight...
and come alive to this joyless place?
303
00:34:47,370 --> 00:34:51,110
- To question you Tiresias,
and to know my destiny.
304
00:34:51,420 --> 00:34:55,550
- Then put away your sword,
and let me drink the lamb's blood...
305
00:34:55,550 --> 00:34:57,550
...and I will let you know the truth.
306
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,260
As told, you shall learn the truth...
307
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,680
...what you care most about is
the day of your return, Odysseus...
308
00:35:34,660 --> 00:35:37,558
...yet your return will
be harsh and bitter,
309
00:35:37,582 --> 00:35:40,480
the wrath of Poseidon
will fall back on you...
310
00:35:40,530 --> 00:35:43,540
...you blinded his son,
and derided his pain...
311
00:35:44,170 --> 00:35:48,780
- How much will I suffer again?
Tell me one thing, Tiresias:
312
00:35:48,970 --> 00:35:53,770
...shall I ever return to Ithaca?
- Yes, you will return...
313
00:35:53,950 --> 00:35:56,840
...but after enduring many hardships.
314
00:35:56,930 --> 00:36:03,460
...you will go many places, face many
perils, sail on a foreign vessel...
315
00:36:03,510 --> 00:36:06,400
...your ship will wreck,
and you will lose all your friends...
316
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:12,710
...in your home, you will find haughty men,
who offended Penelope for years...
317
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:19,110
...and you will revenge!
- Shall I return alone to Ithaca?
318
00:36:20,970 --> 00:36:27,150
- Even then, you will depart again,
you will not rest yet...
319
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:34,310
...you will have to leave Ithaca,
travel to men who never saw the sea...
320
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:42,350
...who don't salt their food,
and will be stunned at your sight.
321
00:36:46,710 --> 00:36:52,480
...you will the stick your oar into
the ground, turn towards heaven
322
00:36:53,150 --> 00:36:56,660
...and make high quality sacrifices
to the lord Poseidon.
323
00:36:57,060 --> 00:37:01,600
...only then you may stop endlessly sailing
from one island to the other...
324
00:37:01,770 --> 00:37:04,880
...and finally deserve your rest...
325
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:10,970
...and one day, death that lurked around
you so often will take you gently...
326
00:37:11,110 --> 00:37:16,310
...you will be serene, and all happy around
you, because your death will be noble.
327
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:22,620
That is your destiny.
I told you the truth, Odysseus.
328
00:37:27,730 --> 00:37:29,640
- No!
329
00:37:31,370 --> 00:37:39,600
- Now leave this murky place, Odysseus,
you are alive, and don't belong here...
330
00:37:41,020 --> 00:37:43,820
- My mother is here, I just saw her...
331
00:37:45,330 --> 00:37:48,480
Tiresias, let me speak to her,
and see her once more!
332
00:37:48,620 --> 00:37:54,310
- I cannot allow nor forbid,
I am no more...
333
00:38:06,570 --> 00:38:09,950
(Circe's voice)
- Go back to daylight, Odysseus...
334
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:15,220
...but look around before you leave,
you will describe this to Penelope.
335
00:38:44,750 --> 00:38:51,140
- I feel your presence Agamemnon,
glorious Atrides, tell me:
336
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,880
...what fate befell you after our victory?
337
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:03,620
Did you drown? Were you struck by disease?
Or killed by an enemy?
338
00:39:04,530 --> 00:39:10,100
- My wife Clytemnestra led me here
she made Aegisthus do it.
339
00:39:13,060 --> 00:39:20,180
...and as a bull led to the butcher
I was slaughtered by her lover.
340
00:39:20,180 --> 00:39:26,040
(Oh, nothing is more evil than a wife
who commits such a heinous crime..)
341
00:39:26,260 --> 00:39:31,370
(Shame to her who pushes
her lawful husband to death...)
342
00:39:31,420 --> 00:39:39,020
(...she is a disgrace to
all womankind, even the good ones)
343
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:43,370
- Be cautious, Odysseus,
and follow my advice:
344
00:39:43,420 --> 00:39:47,200
...when you come back to your homeland,
disembark in secrecy!
345
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:54,300
...don't trust anyone, not your
dearest friends, nor even your wife.
346
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,340
- Goodbye Agamemnon.
347
00:40:11,950 --> 00:40:17,860
- Remember the words of Agamemnon,
spouses cannot be trusted.
348
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:26,170
Conceal, lie and betray,
if you don't want to die untimely.
349
00:40:31,420 --> 00:40:36,540
- When I went to war,
Penelope was a young and tender bride...
350
00:40:36,660 --> 00:40:38,487
(Tiresias's voice) - Odysseus!
351
00:40:38,487 --> 00:40:40,440
In your home, you will find ...
352
00:40:40,442 --> 00:40:44,460
...ambitious and arrogant men
threatening your wife Penelope...
353
00:40:48,940 --> 00:40:50,500
- Achilles!
354
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:56,300
- Achilles is no more. He died with
weapons in his hand, on the Trojan plain.
355
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,510
- When you were alive, we honored
you as a god...
356
00:40:59,550 --> 00:41:02,300
...now I see that you are the lord
among the dead...
357
00:41:02,300 --> 00:41:05,460
...so don't be sad for Achilles
being dead.
358
00:41:05,860 --> 00:41:08,260
- Don't try to comfort me.
359
00:41:08,260 --> 00:41:11,820
I would rather be a servant
in a poor farmer's house...
360
00:41:11,820 --> 00:41:16,930
...but alive on earth,
than the first among these exctinct souls.
361
00:41:16,970 --> 00:41:25,660
Love your life, Odysseus, life is
priceless, and worth any treasure.
362
00:41:29,340 --> 00:41:35,910
- Go back to the sunlight, but look around,
you will have to describe to Penelope...
363
00:41:37,820 --> 00:41:46,660
- Mother, my dear mother,
I see you again at last.
364
00:41:47,110 --> 00:41:51,950
I could not hold you back.
Forgive me.
365
00:41:53,180 --> 00:42:00,080
- My flesh and blood, why are you here?
You watch forbidden and cruel things.
366
00:42:01,420 --> 00:42:05,060
- When you died, was there anyone
close to your eyes?
367
00:42:06,710 --> 00:42:09,240
Did you receive a proper funeral?
368
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:16,180
- I died, and nothing else matters.
I have fulfilled my destiny...
369
00:42:16,180 --> 00:42:18,260
...but if you ask
for the cause of my death...
370
00:42:18,260 --> 00:42:21,580
...it was grief caused
by your too long absence.
371
00:42:21,770 --> 00:42:22,970
- And my father?
372
00:42:23,020 --> 00:42:26,970
- Your father has grown old and sad
waiting for you in vain.
373
00:42:27,660 --> 00:42:32,540
He doesn't come to town,
but dwells among the servants.
374
00:42:32,570 --> 00:42:37,740
Like a savage, he sleeps
near the fire in the winter...
375
00:42:37,740 --> 00:42:39,820
...on a heap of vine leaves
in the summer...
376
00:42:39,910 --> 00:42:44,220
...sighing about Odysseus,
hopeless and weak, until dark.
377
00:42:47,370 --> 00:42:53,380
- My mother, let me embrace you.
Let me hug you on my heart.
378
00:42:54,620 --> 00:42:58,040
- You cannot my son,
such is the law of the death.
379
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:04,000
...I no longer hold flesh and bones,
they perished in consuming fire...
380
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,200
...and my soul flitted away like a dream.
381
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:11,820
...go back, you were away too long,
return to the sunlight!
382
00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:18,140
- Hug me!
383
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,970
- Thrice you will try...
384
00:43:41,110 --> 00:43:44,060
...your son's heart wished
for an embrace...
385
00:43:44,060 --> 00:43:49,060
...and thrice like a phantom
she flitted away.
386
00:43:49,370 --> 00:43:53,500
...and your heart will be torn apart.
387
00:44:10,220 --> 00:44:11,680
- Elpenor!
388
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:16,170
- Yes, it's me,
a sad fate befell Elpenor.
389
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,460
- But I left you alive on Circe's island!
390
00:44:19,550 --> 00:44:23,060
- Only you can give me a proper funeral
391
00:44:23,150 --> 00:44:28,170
...don't leave me unburied
without my armor...
392
00:44:28,220 --> 00:44:32,080
...before you depart forever
from Circe's realm...
393
00:44:32,130 --> 00:44:35,260
...make me a grave on the seashore...
394
00:44:37,110 --> 00:44:41,640
...and unto my tombstone,
stick the oar I used to row with.
395
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,680
Do not forget about me, Odysseus,
think about your friend...
396
00:44:59,620 --> 00:45:03,910
- What happened to Elpenor?
- He fell down, he was up there, singing...
397
00:45:03,910 --> 00:45:06,500
...and suddenly he slipped.
He was drunk.
398
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:09,980
We found him groaning. He was
calling for you but you weren't there.
399
00:45:10,940 --> 00:45:15,860
He's dead. Where have you been,
Odysseus, for all this time?
400
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,200
- Shadows burying a shadow...
401
00:46:06,260 --> 00:46:09,370
Elpenor, the most innocent among us.
402
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,440
What can we hope for,
his friends and myself?
403
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,710
- The day you waited for has come,
the day of departure.
404
00:46:19,020 --> 00:46:25,060
Yes, but only with my friends!
I will give my life with theirs.
405
00:46:25,550 --> 00:46:29,020
- You can still save them,
remember...
406
00:46:29,060 --> 00:46:31,770
- If you speak true,
why did Tiresias tell me...
407
00:46:31,860 --> 00:46:34,350
...I would return alone,
without my friends?
408
00:46:35,460 --> 00:46:41,180
- You are already alone, Odysseus,
you went alive in the Hades.
409
00:46:41,370 --> 00:46:44,500
You will have died twice.
410
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:51,950
This is what Tiresias meant: don't
expect your crew to comply like before...
411
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,860
...or to believe your words
even when you want to save them.
412
00:47:28,340 --> 00:47:36,540
- Elpenor! Elpenor! Elpenor!
413
00:47:36,660 --> 00:47:39,540
- Prepare for your journey, Odysseus.
414
00:47:39,540 --> 00:47:44,310
I will show you the way,
even if it costs me pain and tears...
415
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,110
Once she said this,
Circe ran to the cabin...
416
00:47:47,110 --> 00:47:49,600
...an oracle was speaking through her...
417
00:47:49,820 --> 00:47:53,420
- I'll tell you about your journey,
about the perils awaiting you...
418
00:47:53,420 --> 00:47:59,420
...so that you all can avoid them
and save your lives.
419
00:48:01,550 --> 00:48:03,820
First, you'll come to the Sirens...
420
00:48:04,620 --> 00:48:07,330
...they are a lethal danger to men...
421
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,860
...you will only see a rock,
not the sea anymore...
422
00:48:11,910 --> 00:48:15,060
...and you will know
you came to a doomed place .
423
00:48:16,260 --> 00:48:21,060
Don't get close, don't stop by,
the rocks are covered with the bones...
424
00:48:21,060 --> 00:48:23,370
...of those who listened
to the song of the Sirens.
425
00:48:23,770 --> 00:48:27,200
Will you be able to resist
listening to them?
426
00:48:27,910 --> 00:48:30,700
Will you able to steer
your ship's prow away from them?
427
00:48:32,220 --> 00:48:36,000
Then avoid the wandering rocks
on the way to the North...
428
00:48:36,220 --> 00:48:39,950
...only one man, Jason,
went through them unharmed...
429
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,130
...as he was protected by a goddess.
Don't even try to see them!
430
00:48:44,620 --> 00:48:49,370
That will be your second ordeal. And
the third will be on the Trident island...
431
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,710
...there you will see
black cattle pasturing...
432
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,110
Don't touch it. This is the Sun's cattle.
433
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:59,540
Yet, you'll be hungry and devoid of hope...
434
00:48:59,540 --> 00:49:03,140
...then you could fail this last ordeal.
435
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,620
I have nothing more to say, Odysseus.
The time of departure has arrived.
436
00:49:57,420 --> 00:50:01,730
Eurylochus! Philetor! Heraclius!
Come and listen carefully!
437
00:50:02,170 --> 00:50:05,770
We will set sail shortly,
and severe hardships are awaiting us.
438
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,640
If you infringe my orders,
you will die, and no one will be saved.
439
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,165
Why do you
threaten us, Odysseus?
440
00:50:13,189 --> 00:50:16,550
I don't. This is the
prophecy of Tiresias.
441
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,930
After wandering on all seas,
you also went down to the dead!
442
00:50:23,020 --> 00:50:24,570
Why are you mocking us?
443
00:50:24,570 --> 00:50:28,220
We are still mourning a friend,
who went to the Hades for real!
444
00:50:28,220 --> 00:50:30,620
- No mortal ever returned from the Hades.
445
00:50:30,710 --> 00:50:35,380
- Maybe you think you are a god, Odysseus?
- Believe me, my friends!
446
00:50:44,310 --> 00:50:50,460
Alright, if you no longer believe
Odysseus's words, listen to Circe's!
447
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:55,680
- Circe?
448
00:50:57,460 --> 00:50:59,150
- Who is Circe?
449
00:51:14,170 --> 00:51:19,550
- Don't you remember anything?
- Remember what?
450
00:51:22,310 --> 00:51:26,400
- How Circe turned you into pigs,
and I returned you to humans?
451
00:51:27,020 --> 00:51:32,260
- What did she want to do with us?
Bacon?
452
00:51:34,930 --> 00:51:37,510
- We listened to you enough,
al of us are sad and tired...
453
00:51:37,910 --> 00:51:40,170
...tired of this journey that never ends...
454
00:51:45,530 --> 00:51:48,020
(You are alone, Odysseus)
455
00:51:48,950 --> 00:51:51,310
(You can see their memory is void.)
456
00:51:51,750 --> 00:51:57,000
(I erased myself and this island
from your men's mind...)
457
00:51:57,570 --> 00:52:01,880
(...so that nothing would
divide you anymore...)
458
00:52:03,420 --> 00:52:11,000
(...but what you know and what they don't,
that cannot be undone...)
