(laughing)

This mouse is just too fast for you, mister cat!

(screaming)

(barking)

Scat, Argos! Go on, off you go!

Don't worry, honey. Everything's okay.

Just, sometimes, it's the cat who needs help from the mouse.

(evil laughter)

Hang in there, guys! We're doing great!

Look.

The end has come.

(screaming)

Bye bye.

What's going on?

How can an all-powerful god like Poseidon

be swept away by a simple run-of-the-mill whirlpool?

I've no idea but I do know we're alive!

Come on, let's lay a course for Ithaca!

- [All] We're off to Ithaca!

What did we hit?

The sea is like totally solid!

Not water!

And it's not ice either.

What on earth could have caused this?

Let's get a look at this!

Uh, I've gotta tell you something, Ulysses!

I don't know what's going on exactly

but I do know Poseidon is in a fix!

So the sea has turned to stone along with Poseidon.

I suppose that makes sense.

What it makes is no more Poseidon.

We're rid of him, at last!

Party time!

(cheering) (laughing)

I don't like to rock the boat, folks,

but we're gonna have to break this spell.

Well, how else are we going to get out of here?

You mean you want to save our worst enemy?

Piece of cake.

After all, it's just straight down.

What are you talking about?

You'll be leading us into a bottomless pit!

Move.

- [Philo] I'd like to know

why I'm always being dragged into action.

I'm a poet, not a hero!

Why don't you ask Zephyr or Dates instead?

- [Titan] Shut up!

Nisa come back, will you?

I'm just taking a look at--

(screaming)

Look out.

(screaming)

What a weird place.

It's worse than weird. This is Tartarus!

What's that?

A location the poets have described

as cursed, laced with snags and traps.

Not the kind of place you'd go for a stroll or a picnic,

so I suggest we get out of here now,

even if we have to walk back to Ithaca!

Where are you going?

I remember now, the writings also say,

"Steer clear of Tartarus, for there is no return."

Cheer up, Philo, now we're stuck here,

we might as well get going and look for Poseidon.

Once that's done, we'll find a way out of here.

Titan thirsty.

Stop! Not a drop!

Don't you remember reading about the river of oblivion?

No, I don't suppose you would!

"Whosoever so much as skims the water

"will lose his memory at once!"

The river's just one of Tartarus's many boobytraps!

- [Titan] Nasty place!

- [Ulysses] I say we take a stroll up river!

Come on, let's go!

This place looks boringly mundane to me!

Maybe, but there's something odd about this slab.

Hey, look, you guys! The owl's found something.

A cave! Follow me everyone.

Oh, by the way, watch out for the oblivion water!

One splash and you won't remember your own name!

- [Titan] Get walking!

So there is life in Tartarus, after all.

It looks to me like a statue of Gaia,

the goddess of the earth.

Spooky looking, whoever she is!

Yeah, talk about a stony glare!

Cronos, beloved son of the earth and the sky,

I hereby bestow these stones of life upon you.

Use them to model the universe!

- [Ulysses] Let's go!

- [Nisa] The stones on the statue belong to Cronos.

Does that name mean anything to you?

You bet, I know all there is to know about Cronos!

- [Titan] Here we go!

Cronos was the fearsome founder of the world!

But Zeus and his brothers turned him to stone

in a magic cave in Tartarus!

- [Poseidon] That's right and the last I heard,

he'd just broken free!

By the grace of Zeus.

Ulysses, you here? Get me out of here.

I'll do anything you want.

We came here for that?

Ulysses, I'd like you to meet Cronos!

Good luck!

Almighty Cronos, we have come in peace--

Is this how you intend to save me, with chitchat?

Poor naive creature!

I've spent thousands of years working out a way

of escaping from this prison!

I finally have a chance to seek revenge.

And no-one is going to stand in my way!

Run!

Wait!

Would these be yours, by any chance?

My stones of life! Give those back right now!

Catch!

My stones!

Ah, there they are!

Give them back, you cursed waters of oblivion!

The whole thing's going to come down!

(laughing)

- [Nisa] Get off me, you slimy slab!

Go on, squirm away while you still can!

Why, how kind of you

to let me spend my final hours with Poseidon!

You're welcome!

And soon, you'll be joined by a whole bunch

of other famous neighbors!

Who?

My two brothers, no doubt?

Correct, Hades, god of the underworld.

Then Zeus to pay him back for the hell he's put me through!

Olympus will be mine again, and terror shall reign on high!

It was a good plan, Cronos,

but it's kind of gone down the drain, the drain of oblivion!

You're right, I can't go and fetch the stones of life.

But somebody else can!

Farewell, all you memorable poems

I'll never remember again!

Your beauty will be lost.

Dive in and get those stones, or else!

I can't feel my feet!

Oh, that's just the cave absorbing you into its substance.

But don't worry, you'll be just as mobile as Cronos

in a few thousand years!

That's what I call gratitude!

We come here to save you and all you can come out with

is a bunch of snide remarks!

Saved? Hah!

Even the gods are putty in Cronos' hands,

as long as the stones of life are in his possession!

He has used them to capture my powers.

Well, soon it will be Hades turn, as well.

The water's lovely and warm!

Aren't you coming in for a dip?

Did you get the stones?

I don't believe we've met, sir?

So, you're looking for some pebbles?

Dive down on the double and bring me back

those two sparkling stones from the riverbed.

Or your friend here is going to get it!

- [Philo] You mean, that trussed up old trooper's my friend?

Hey!

Get my stones!

You'll never get your stones!

The water of oblivion erases his memory every time he dives!

I can't remember why I dived in in the first place.

But while I was down there,

I came across some gorgeous little gems!

Looks like my hopes of having a glorious statue

erected in my honor, in Ithaca, are dashed!

Those moldy walls of yours

are a frightful health hazard, you know!

I mean, look at that one.

Wait up, I'd like to see what that old fossil is up to.

It's strange, Philo seems to be helping him.

Time has come to rise up, oh, mighty rocks of depths.

You're quite a thespian, aren't you?

Stop butting in, mortal!

Just do as I say and go and fetch the ashes!

From ashes to fire, from fire to force.

There's something mystic going on here!

How'd you manage to sculpt such a fine piece of art

with such clumsy hands?

Get back, or I'll turn you to stone like the others!

I get it!

He uses those stones to entice the gods into his lair!

There's no way I'm going to let that blockhead

get away with this!

Oh Hades, god of the underworld,

your double is calling you!

Come forth and meet its master!

The explosion has blinded him.

Let's go before he gets his sight back.

What a performance!

Well stone me dry! My powers have been restored!

I knew it!

Ulysses has overthrown mister Boulderbrain!

There's no way I'm going to stand by

and let a mortal defeat a god!

Let me handle this!

As you can see, I've got my eye sight back.

How dare you, human!

Pleased to meet you, sir!

You and your friend are outstanding entertainers!

Please join us.

Ulysses.

Get ready to take a shower!

Water coming!

Oh, there you are. Where are the others?

I hope they haven't been.

Oh, that would be such a shame.

There they are!

Aren't you just pleased as punch?

Hello, the water's lovely and warm!

Aren't you coming in for a dip?

He doesn't remember a thing.

I'm just surprised he doesn't sink!

Fine!

Now that's done, it's time I got back to my kingdom.

What about us?

How are we going to get out of--

You're right!

This place is a renowned dead-end!

Excuse me, Mr. Poseidon!

I hope you're not gonna just mosey off

and leave us in the lurch after we risked our lives for you!

All right, Ulysses, we're even.

But we're still enemies.

And there's no way I'm going to let you and your cronies

find your way back to Ithaca!

That big octopus didn't even have the decency

to congratulate me on diving into the river of oblivion.

It took quite some courage!

Hey, Philo! You got your memory back!

Why, of course I have!

If you'd studied the ancient poems,

you'd know that the curses of the river of oblivion

are only effective within Tartarus.

In other words, if you're lucky enough to find your way out,

you recover your memory in the blink of an eye,

which is why--

- [Titan] Quiet.
