00:00:00.877 --> 00:00:04.933
[Strongly rhythmical music starts]

00:00:04.933 --> 00:00:06.833
(Aenaos Pléfsis - eternal journey)

00:00:10.459 --> 00:00:16.014
(Omiros - Homer)

00:00:16.014 --> 00:00:17.560
(Map of Ithaka)

00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:26.425
(Itháki - Ithaka)

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:37.899
(Odisséas - Ulysses)

00:01:01.354 --> 00:01:04.246
[Sean Connery] As you set out for Ithaka

00:01:05.964 --> 00:01:09.252
Hope that your journey is a long one

00:01:09.931 --> 00:01:13.055
full of adventure, full of discovery.

00:01:14.554 --> 00:01:16.924
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,

00:01:16.924 --> 00:01:19.235
angry Poseidon

00:01:19.235 --> 00:01:21.736
do not be afraid of them:

00:01:25.626 --> 00:01:28.789
you’ll never find things like that on your way

00:01:29.789 --> 00:01:33.460
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,

00:01:34.911 --> 00:01:40.352
as long as a rare sensation touches your spirit and your body.

00:01:43.428 --> 00:01:46.505
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,

00:01:46.505 --> 00:01:48.351
wild Poseidon

00:01:49.045 --> 00:01:51.257
— you won’t encounter them

00:01:53.069 --> 00:01:56.568
unless you bring them along inside your soul,

00:01:58.443 --> 00:02:02.438
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

00:02:06.444 --> 00:02:09.660
Hope that your journey is a long one.

00:02:12.230 --> 00:02:15.314
May there be many summer mornings

00:02:16.135 --> 00:02:20.106
when, with what pleasure, what joy,

00:02:22.008 --> 00:02:24.803
you come into harbors seen for the first time;

00:02:26.514 --> 00:02:30.005
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations

00:02:31.173 --> 00:02:32.957
to buy fine things,

00:02:33.865 --> 00:02:39.240
mother of pearl and coral, amber, ebony,

00:02:39.973 --> 00:02:43.051
sensual perfume of every kind —

00:02:44.209 --> 00:02:47.380
as many sensual perfumes as you can;

00:02:50.247 --> 00:02:53.567
and may you visit many Egyptian cities

00:02:54.093 --> 00:02:59.462
to learn and learn again from those who know.

00:03:02.661 --> 00:03:06.608
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.

00:03:08.380 --> 00:03:11.622
Arriving there is what you are destined for.

00:03:13.411 --> 00:03:15.626
But do not hurry the journey at all.

00:03:17.193 --> 00:03:19.712
Better if it lasts for years,

00:03:20.946 --> 00:03:25.020
so that you are old by the time you reach the island,

00:03:26.218 --> 00:03:29.572
wealthy with all you have gained on the way,

00:03:31.430 --> 00:03:35.262
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

00:03:37.747 --> 00:03:40.584
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.

00:03:41.881 --> 00:03:45.440
Without her you would not have set out.

00:03:46.723 --> 00:03:49.438
She has nothing left to give you now.

00:03:51.407 --> 00:03:57.252
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.

00:03:58.801 --> 00:04:03.723
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:11.074
you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

00:04:13.906 --> 00:04:21.423
