THE ODYSSEY
-
Penelope.
-
We must get her to the palace.
-
Oh. Odysseus.
-
Hurry!
-
- Odysseus.
- Master, the baby is coming!
-
Take me home.
-
Master!
-
Tell them to make ready.
-
Just think of us.
Just you and I.
-
Lying on the shore.
-
Hold tight. Give me the pain.
-
Master!
-
Master.
-
It is coming. It is coming.
Odysseus.
-
- You must get her to the palace.
- It is coming.
-
Come this way.
-
Come.
-
Come this way.
-
Here.
-
There.
-
The baby is coming!
-
Mistress Anticlea!
Mistress Anticlea!
-
Mistress Anticlea!
Mistress Anti... oh!
-
Queen Penelope's baby is coming!
-
The baby is coming.
-
Oh, the queen.
Queen Penelope's baby...
-
Calm yourself, boy.
-
Hold me. Hold me.
Hold me in your eyes.
-
A boy.
-
I love you.
-
Show him his new home.
-
Do you see, Telemachus?
-
Ithaca.
-
Your kingdom.
-
Yes.
-
Do you see how beautiful?
-
Do you?
-
Yes.
-
Look Look.
-
This day was the
proudest day of my life.
-
My sweet Penelope and
the gods had given me a son.
-
But at the same moment, the
world we built together
-
was changed forever.
-
Dark news was
coming to my shores.
-
My beloved Greece
was at war with Troy.
-
A kingdom, far across the seas.
-
The mightiest of my fellow kings,
-
Agamemnon and Menelaus themselves,
came for me.
-
Sworn to a blood oath of allegiance.
-
And bound by honour
to protect my land,
-
I was forced to leave my home,
-
not knowing if I would
ever see my wife
-
and child again.
-
I am Odysseus, king of Ithaca.
-
And this... is my story.
-
No.
-
You must it leave here.
-
The bow.
Now, belongs to your son.
-
My grandson.
-
You alone, will teach
him to string it
-
when he is grown.
-
- Mother.
- No.
-
I see, it is war.
-
Eurybates.
-
Summon the captains.
Assemble the crews.
-
We sail for Troy.
-
Troy. Gods be with us.
-
Athena, my goddess, you
have always protected me.
-
Yet today you remain silent.
-
Tell me. Is there no way
to avoid this war?
-
Athena.
-
Speak to me.
-
No tears.
-
No tears.
-
He is strong like you.
-
He doesn't cry.
-
- Promise me you will return.
- I cannot.
-
Troy does not fall so gently.
-
I love you.
-
- Penelope, If I cannot return...
- You will!
-
No, no. If I fail...
-
If I fail and if I die.
-
Don't even say the words, don't.
-
You must allow me
to die inside of your.
-
You cannot live a life alone.
-
You'll always be my wife.
-
If there is a beard on his face
and I still hadn't come,
-
you will choose another.
-
And you will marry.
-
And you will give
our son a kingdom.
-
Yes.
-
And all we have worked for.
-
Now promise me.
-
I love you.
-
Odysseus.
-
I will be alive.
-
Alive like this tree
-
around which we built this world.
-
I will wait.
-
Antiphus.
-
Joint a farewell song.
-
Set the sails.
-
Turn Troy to dust.
-
Return with the spoils of
enemies you slain.
-
And my heart will rejoice.
-
Give Penelope the same
strength you gave to me.
-
I will care for your son
as I cared for you.
-
The gods of sea and sky
carried me towards Troy.
-
My warriors at my side.
-
But I was alone.
-
You're really, Eurylochus!
He is infected with a lying sickness.
-
I am telling you, it's true.
-
The walls of Troy
reach to the clouds.
-
I see you are no longer with me,
Athena.
-
And it's alright.
-
I can do everything myself.
-
Ha. Is that any way to
speak to your protector?
-
Athena!
-
I think the wine swells your head,
my Odysseus.
-
Are you drinking because
you fear your future?
-
Me? I am afraid of nothing.
-
I am teasing you.
You are anger with me.
-
Athena. You could have
only persuaded Agamemnon,
-
on the day of
my son's birth, no less.
-
I am a goddess after all.
I have other duties.
-
And don't forget. I can be
seen by whom I choose.
-
I did not want you
to escape this journey,
-
because I want you to go.
-
I want you, my brave Odysseus,
to defeat the Trojans.
-
I have fought long enough.
-
No, your destiny is to do battle
to become immortal.
-
To have your name on the
lips of endless generations.
-
No. I have no need to be
remembered by endless generations.
-
Odysseus. You cannot lie to me.
I know your true character.
-
I know your pride.
-
Your vanity.
-
You even surround yourself with men
who would not refuse you.
-
Look at them. I fear for you.
-
Giant Polites,
he is stubborn beyond words.
-
That's what makes him relentless.
-
Eurylochus, lies even more than you.
-
Eurylochus is the best
blacksmith in all Greece.
-
Anticlus. His curiosity will
always bring him trouble.
-
I can see TROY!
-
That's what makes him fearless.
-
You see the good in them
because they love you.
-
You must use this scope
to defeat the Trojans.
-
You must be brave, my Odysseus.
-
I have no fear
-
as long as you are with me.
-
Year after year,
we fought beneath Troy's walls.
-
I stood with the mighty Achilles,
-
fight to fight against Hector.
-
The Trojan's most ferocious warrior,
and his troops.
-
Thousands of men died
where they fell.
-
While mothers and wives
spent endless sleepless nights.
-
And no one knew whose side
the gods were on.
-
Stop!
-
Play, play, play!
-
Fight. Fight. Fight! Fight!
-
Achilles! Hear me, Greek!
-
It is I, Hector, defender of Troy,
who challenge you.
-
Here, before the gods
and your own people,
-
I will tear open your chest
-
suck out your beating heart...
-
and spit your blood in
the faces of your slaves.
-
Hector!
-
Yah!
-
Hector is mine!
-
Mine!
-
Mine.
-
He's mine!
-
He's mine!
-
I killed Hector!
-
I will bury Troy!
-
In the 7th year of blood.
-
Achilles, god among man,
was slain.
-
Our hope was lost.
-
Troy, had taken the best of us
-
and still remain locked.
-
The word on each Greek soldiers'
lips was: Surrender.
-
But I refused to accept
so much death in vain.
-
I had a plan.
-
And I convinced my comrades.
-
There was a way to enter Troy.
-
King Priam.
-
Built from their forgotten ships.
-
A worthy trophy.
-
Let me go! Let me go!
-
Mercy, good king.
Have mercy on an old man.
-
It was I who convinced
the Greeks to retreat.
-
I told them to make this
offering to you, great king.
-
To my brothers, after 10 years
of war, you have won.
-
And no one will ever
enter the walls of Troy.
-
I convinced them to build this mighty
horse, as a gift of surrender to you.
-
And for my troubles,
they branded me a coward.
-
- And left me here to beg.
- Good.
-
Mighty Priam, give me life.
And I'll be your slave.
-
Any fool can see
that he is lying!
-
Laocoon, the soothsayer.
-
He will ruin us.
-
That man has never
spoken the truth!
-
Good king, I swear it!
-
Beware the Greeks,
and their gifts!
-
Ha-ha-ha...
-
Ha-ha-ha...!
-
Beware!
Poseidon has sent his sea serpent.
-
It's a sign!
-
Your soothsayer has offended
Poseidon with his lies!
-
You must accept the Greeks' gift!
-
Wheel it to the gates.
-
Drop the rope.
-
Greeks!
-
Do you see?
You gods of sea and sky.
-
I conquered Troy! Me, Odysseus!
-
A mortal man of flesh
and blood and bone and mind!
-
I do not need you now.
-
I can do anything.
-
Odysseus, why do you defy me?
-
Who are you?
-
It is I, Poseidon.
God of the wine dark sea.
-
You have already
forgotten how I helped you.
-
Help me?
-
For 10 years, you played with
us as with toys.
-
For 10 years,
you let blood spilled your shores!
-
But it was my serpent who
silenced Laocoon
-
or your horse was doomed.
-
Yet, you refuse to give thanks.
-
You forget a man is
nothing without the gods.
-
You will suffer for this offence.
-
For your arrogance, you will drift
on my sea for an eternity.
-
Never again will you reach
the shores of Ithaca.
-
You cannot stop me!
-
You will suffer.
-
Odysseus!
-
Look what we have!
-
No one.
-
No one will stop me
from seeing Ithaca.
-
Victorious, defiant,
I sailed from Troy.
-
My mind filled only with
the thoughts of the home.
-
I had not seen for 10 years.
-
You see, Telemachus. It is easy.
-
Telemachus?
-
- Telemachus, where are you?
- You can't catch me.
-
I can still catch you.
-
And yes, I will. Ha ha ha.
-
You won't catch me.
You won't catch me.
-
- Mother, mother, save me!
- Hoy!
-
Mother. Mother.
-
Mother! Mother! Save me!
-
You save me.
-
- Oh.
- Mother.
-
Oh.
-
Aw! Oh.
-
Telemachus.
-
Where are you suppose to be?
-
In the field shooting sheep.
-
Eumaeus, take Telemachus back.
-
Come on boy, come on.
-
Out.
-
He is just a boy.
-
He is not ready for man's work.
-
Because you would not
let him grow.
-
- He is my son, not yours!
- My son was ready for all things.
-
Yes, your son had his father.
-
Your's soon enough.
-
It can never be soon enough.
-
Each day without Odysseus
last forever.
-
Yes.
-
But...
-
if he does not return.
-
Do not say those words to me.
-
You cannot hide from them.
-
If Odysseus is dead
-
you must bear it and go on.
-
You must live for your son.
-
As I did.
-
You must raise a king!
-
You have a heart of stone.
-
Yes,
-
if stone can shiver and bleed.
-
Oh. Odysseus.
-
Oh. Oh.
-
Oh. Odysseus...
-
Oh. Odysseus, return to me.
-
Poseidon began his revenge
soon enough.
-
For months,
he blanketed the sea in fog.
-
Separated from the rest of the fleet,
-
I was lost.
-
Anticlus.
-
Nothing. Nothing but fog!
-
Antiphus!
-
When I find you, you and
your flute are in the sea.
-
Land! It's land!
-
Man your oars!
-
- It's not Ithaca.
- Row!
-
If men live here, they can tell us
how far we wondered.
-
Let the others go, master.
You can follow if they meet anyone.
-
Perimedes.
-
I hear it.
-
Sheep or goat.
-
And I bet I am the
first to find them.
-
Elpenor.
-
Bring me gifts, for our host.
-
- You stay with the ship.
- And let you go alone, master?
-
I win! An empty cave.
-
No women, but...
plenty of cheese.
-
Hmm. It's good. Here.
-
Oy. Have some.
-
They keep sheep in
this cave with them.
-
No tools.
-
No weapons.
-
Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
-
Oh. A million number! Oh!
-
No grain. No oil.
-
Just cheese!
-
- Bring the wine.
- Savages!
-
The wine.
-
We will trade it for water.
-
Mixed wine with water, you pig.
It's too strong without.
-
I'm no little boy!
-
No. We will roll you down
the hill when you are drunk.
-
Now.
-
Let us see these shepherds.
-
Who are you?
-
We are just soldiers.
-
We are lost.
-
And eating my food!
-
- Why not?
- And enough.
-
It's true, we-we...
-
We just helped ourselves.
-
As you guest, we-we know.
-
We bring gifts, that is the custom
in this part of the world, no?
-
That is-That is the law.
-
Here, we have no law.
Here, we do what we want!
-
You...
-
You are not alone?
-
No, my brothers' at the big caves.
-
Where are your parents?
-
Our mother is a sea nymph.
-
Our father is the
mighty god, Poseidon.
-
Poseidon.
-
I am the youngest, Polyphemes.
What did you bring?
-
Bring.
-
Gifts.
-
We thought that...
-
If you would share some sheep,
-
we could cook you a feast.
-
Feast!
-
Cheese?
-
- I like meat!
- Aw!
-
No!
-
- Why not?
- No!
-
Because, man do not
eat one another.
-
Yes, I thought so. Ha-ha-ha...
-
Calm down.
-
Who is next?
-
No no. Down. Down.
-
Take me next. Please.
-
Of course, if you do, then...
-
you would eat all the
magic inside my head.
-
Do you know how much magic
I have in here?
-
I will spit your head out!
-
But you would have learned nothing.
-
Poseidon's sons are not stupid.
-
They are not foolish.
-
You eat me, then you kill
all the secrets of the world.
-
What secret? Uh?
-
What secret?
-
Anticlus, the wine.
-
- What is it? Aye.
- It's wine.
-
It's a drink of the gods.
-
Here.
-
Try it.
-
I like it!
-
Yes. Another!
-
- What is your name?
- My name?
-
- He is the lord of...
- Please!
-
My name is Nobody.
-
No-bo-dy.
-
Oh, alright. Nobody.
-
In the morning, you will tell
me more secrets, after I eat.
-
I will kill him now!
-
And after he's dead,
who would move the stone?
-
Push. Push.
-
Keep it, keep quiet.
-
- Push! Push!
- Come one.
-
More effort. Come on, push!
-
There must be another way out.
-
There is.
-
Oh, my eye! My eye!
-
My eye!
-
What have you done to me?
-
I cannot see!
-
Help! Help me, I cannot see!
-
Brothers! Brothers!
He's blinded me!
-
Nobody has blinded me!
-
Where are you?
-
Where are you? Where are you?
-
Where are you?
-
I'll kill you all and
eat you piece by piece!
-
Where are you?
-
Elpenor. Elpenor.
-
Elpenor!
-
I will get you! Where are you?
-
I will get you!
-
I hear you!
-
You can't escape!
I will get you!
-
Where are you?
-
Where are you?
-
What-What happened?
-
- Man your oars!
- What happened?
-
What happened?
-
Tell me!
-
- Man your oars!
- What happened?
-
Master.
-
Polyphemus!
-
Polyphemus!
-
You gave me no choice.
-
Blame your father, Poseidon!
It is he who made me blind you!
-
You hear, Poseidon! I am alive!
-
Odysseus is alive and
you cannot stop me!
-
Father! Avenge me!
-
Father!
-
We sailed for months,
-
from Cyclops island
to the setting sun.
-
Our hearts heavy with the lost
of Antiphus and his gentle flute.
-
Our mouths dry with thirst,
desperate for water to drink,
-
we approached another
unknown land.
-
Be still!
-
Are you surprised? Admit it.
-
I can see you are surprised.
-
Who are you?
-
I am Aeolus, god of wind.
-
This is my island,
-
where soft breezes and
raging tempest... all begin.
-
Well, I am honoured. But...
-
why do you not
allow me to drink?
-
Because I know you, Odysseus,
lord of Ithaca.
-
Do not be afraid.
Step through the water.
-
I have something for you.
-
Come ahead!
-
Do not be afraid.
-
- Come here.
- You know me?
-
Everyone knows Odysseus.
-
The great hero who
built the Trojan horse.
-
But...
-
few Greeks know that you are
the only one who can't go home.
-
Poseidon still believes
he can stop me.
-
Poseidon. Poseidon.
Poseidon this, Poseidon that.
-
Poseidon is a bully He's my cousin.
He's arrogant, he's selfish.
-
He forgets that the sea
is nothing with the wind.
-
And who is the god of the wind?
-
Guess who is the
god of the winds?
-
I am. I am.
-
We'll get back at him.
Give me this.
-
Give me this, Odysseus.
-
Thank you.
-
We'll get back at him.
-
Up here!
-
These winds, very stubborn!
-
I have left only the
West wind free.
-
In 9 days, it will blow you
and your ship to Ithaca.
-
Now here. Catch!
-
Why are you helping me?
-
Because you are the first mortal
ever to use his mind!
-
And you understand that
there is always something to learn!
-
Now go!
-
And you better not
open that sack.
-
Lucky Odysseus.
-
We find water. He finds gold.
-
Maybe something better.
-
No.
-
Leave it alone.
-
I will tell you when we
reach Ithaca, not before.
-
Soon. Aeolus had promised me.
-
Soon, I will see my Penelope,
my family, my home.
-
Fly.
-
Tell Penelope I would not sleep
till we embrace in my bed.
-
Go!
-
Bring the grain!
-
Move along! Move it along!
-
My hear flutters, as if...
-
I am afraid to say it.
-
Finally, he sleeps.
-
Now, let's open the sack.
-
It must be full of treasure.
-
We will bet.
-
Polites.
-
- What do you say it is?
- I don't care.
-
But I want my share.
-
Perimedes?
-
You cannot open it.
It is the master's.
-
- What is the master's is ours.
- Odysseus can keep it.
-
- I just wanted to see it.
- Well, I'll have a share of it too.
-
Now, I say it's gold.
-
Ithaca!
-
Ithaca! It's Ithaca!
-
Ithaca.
-
We are home!
-
- I must wake the master.
- No.
-
Move, and I will
cut your head off.
-
Once we land he will never
show us what's in that sack.
-
A strange feeling woke me.
-
Yes.
-
He's coming.
-
Master! Orrff...
-
Hurry Hurry!
-
Quiet.
-
- Come on!
- Slice it open.
-
What have you done?
-
What have you done?
-
Pull the sails!
-
Pull the sails!
-
I told you. I told you
not to open this till Ithaca!
-
Not till Ithaca!
-
What have you done?
-
What have you done?
-
Are you fools? You betrayed me!
-
You betrayed me!
-
You fools!
-
You fools!
-
You betrayed me!
-
Where have you been?
-
Is that a ship?
-
I have held Ithaca in my eyes.
-
Only to have my hopes
of reaching Penelope
-
crushed by the fury
of the unlocked winds.
-
Tossed in the storm,
-
all food and water lost.
-
We were set down now,
-
on the far side of the world.
-
- Food!
- Stay away!
-
Here, master, all I could find.
-
You will not get
1 kernel from me.
-
You act alone
and you starve alone.
-
If there is game here
-
I will kill it. But I...
-
I will share it
-
with my brothers.
-
Polites, go with him.
-
Eyes open.
-
Perimedes.
-
Gold and silver.
-
It's you who open the sack
and now we all starve.
-
I can cut you open too.
-
We will cook you right here. Hm.
-
Quiet.
-
Move.
-
Food!
-
Get it!
-
Get it!
-
The pig! Get the pig!
-
Someone stop it!
-
Aim for it!
And come on, stop it!
-
Get in front! Get the pig!
-
No!
-
Oh, stop your squealing.
-
Please, stop!
-
Please, masters. Stop it!
-
Where are the others?
-
- Captured.
- By who.
-
Warriors, Savages, who?
-
No!
-
It's Polites. Our Polites.
-
Turned into a pig!
-
- Ha ha ha...!
- Ha-ha-ha...
-
- Eurylochus, enough of your games.
- It is the truth! I swear it!
-
This is the island of a witch,
a sorceress!
-
She turned all our
brothers into animals.
-
- I saw it with my own eyes!
- He is lying to protect himself!
-
What did you do, coward?
Run from the fight?
-
- Master.
- Let him speak.
-
For half a day we climbed up
a path into these mountains.
-
From the woods, suddenly we heard
a sweet woman's voice.
-
Singing, calling us in.
The witch.
-
We came to a stone palace,
surrounded by animals: Lions, wolves.
-
We saw her from a distance,
-
walking from window to
window, singing her song.
-
She offered food and wine
in her honeyed voice,
-
- and in they went.
- But you did not go.
-
I stayed back, yes!
-
And never have I felt
worst for being right!
-
Go on.
-
I crept closer and saw
-
there was music.
The witch waved her hands
-
and each one of our brothers was
turned into an animal before my eyes!
-
Impossible.
-
Only Polites escaped!
-
- It does look like Polites.
- Quiet, fool!
-
Master, you cannot believe...
-
Are we to starve
because of his lies.
-
If you touch that pig,
-
- I will kill your with my bare hands!
- Move. Get off!
-
Stop!
-
- Get off!
- Enough!
-
- All this is true?
- On my life.
-
If I do not return by sunrise,
-
leave this place.
-
Master! Master!
-
Majesty, you cannot go!
-
She will cast a spell over you!
-
I sent them.
-
I bring them back.
-
Stay away!
Don't come any closer!
-
Anticlus?
-
Where are the others?
-
Careful.
-
You're about to lose your sword,
and you need it.
-
Hermes, the gods' messenger.
-
- None other.
- Finally.
-
Athena sent you.
-
Please.
-
Take care of my sword.
-
Sorry. I'm not allow to touch.
-
Only offer you words.
-
Heed my advice,
and reach that stone.
-
Which?
-
This one!
-
Here.
-
Eat this.
-
No. It's Moly.
-
It's poison.
-
I'm giving it to you.
A god to a mortal.
-
No, I refuse.
-
Fine.
-
But it is the only way to
stop the witch, Circe's spell.
-
Don't you trust me?
-
She knows you are coming.
-
But now,
-
When you drink her honey potion,
you will remain a man.
-
This will catch
the witch off guard.
-
Draw you sword,
as if to kill her.
-
Frighten her a little!
Then she will make you an offer,
-
to take her to bed.
-
You cannot refuse a goddess.
-
Only then,
will she surrender your men.
-
Farewell.
-
Come on!
Come, you're almost there.
-
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Don't be afraid.
-
You must be hungry and thirsty.
-
Wine with honey.
-
More.
-
Ha.
-
Very sweet.
-
I've hope for a lion
for such a man.
-
Well. You will not change me.
-
No.
-
No.
-
What would you do
with this knife?
-
End your life.
-
Do...
-
and you will never
see your men again.
-
Odysseus.
-
The only way I will turn
your soldiers back to man
-
is if you take me to bed.
-
Brave Odysseus.
-
Are you still a man?
-
You are gutless murderers.
-
I am telling you,
you are gutless murderers.
-
At least our bellies
will be full!
-
I believe you, Eurylochus,
but I cannot stop them all!
-
I'm going to have your share.
-
Look at me, you idiot!
-
Come closer.
-
You don't recognize me?
-
Polites!
I told you it was Polites!
-
- You will regret for this!
- Polites!
-
You will remember me always!
-
You will remember me always!
-
- You will remember me!
- And he will remember you!
-
You will always remember me!
-
Bring your men here.
-
To eat and rest.
-
Circe,
filled our ears with music
-
and our minds with the
magical lotus blossom.
-
Her potions are
weakening our bodies
-
and clouding our thoughts.
-
Telemachus!
-
- I'm going hunting.
- Not with that!
-
Not yet!
-
But it's mine!
-
Yes.
-
If I am old enough to keep
my father's flocks and kill his game,
-
- then I am old enough to use his bow.
- If you can string it.
-
It's your's to hunt with.
-
If you cannot,
-
you will place it in your father's
treasury until I give it to you.
-
Mistress Anticlea is going to the shore!
Come quickly!
-
Anticlea!
-
Anticlea!
-
- Anticlea!
- I can wait no longer.
-
If Odysseus is dead...
-
- I will meet him in the sea.
- He is alive.
-
We will wait for him together.
Together.
-
NO-OOO!
-
Leave me!
-
Anticlea!
-
Anticlea.
-
I'm ashamed.
-
But my stone heart has broken.
-
I have nothing left to bleed!
-
What of your family? Of me?
-
You are not only the
mother of my husband,
-
You are my mother.
You are my father.
-
You are my strength.
-
You are strong enough alone!
-
No.
-
You will feel me
-
with you.
-
Even...
-
from the land of the dead.
-
NO-OOO!!
-
Please.
-
You cannot stop me.
-
No tears.
-
You lie with me
yet you think of your wife.
-
Yes.
-
Why?
-
While we shared this bed,
you've forgotten her.
-
No.
-
You have given me much, Circe.
-
But no bare enough flesh
could ever make me forget Penelope.
-
Not in a life time.
-
And not in these 5 days.
-
5 days?
-
Poor, simple Odysseus.
-
He thinks he has been here 5 days
when it has been 5 years.
-
What are you playing at?
-
You mortals understand
so little here, in my palace.
-
Time has no meaning.
-
It passes, slips by, fades,
however I choose.
-
What seem like a day
to you, even an hour
-
was a year outside these walls.
-
I saw the sun rise and set,
that's impossible.
-
If you needed proof to you eyes,
-
go see your ship
buried in 5 years of tide.
-
And on the way, wonder if your
wife's memory is as strong as yours!
-
Or if she has found
another partner!
-
Wake up!
-
- Odysseus.
- Wake up!
-
Get up!
-
GET UP! GET UP!
-
Wake! Wake!
-
I see now you believed.
-
You conspired with Poseidon
against me!
-
Don't blame the gods
for your deeds.
-
You were given your men back,
and yet, you lingered in my bed.
-
15 years, I have not seen my son
-
and my home.
-
And my mother.
-
Or touch your lonely wife.
-
You lose much more than 5 years
-
if you don't open your eyes
and see what you are.
-
No! You, open your eyes
and you see who I am!
-
Now, you help me
fine my way home
-
or curse them I'll kill you.
-
I know one man who
knows the way to Ithaca.
-
Then tell me.
-
- Tiresias, the prophet.
- Tiresias is dead.
-
If you still wish to go home,
you must
-
first, enter the underworld.
-
Only there, will you find
the answers you seek.
-
Hades.
-
The kingdom of the dead.
-
You are right to be afraid.
-
How do I find Tiresias?
-
You must cross the river
of fire and sacrifice a ram,
-
and you must enter the fire
-
to find Tiresias.
-
Go.
-
5 years, gone with the tide.
-
5 years of pain for Penelope.
-
And what of my son?
-
He would be 15 by now.
-
And still without his father.
-
The Boy.
-
Lord Antinous.
-
Lord Eurymachus,
nobles of Ithaca.
-
You have brought
news of my father?
-
News?
-
No.
-
Your father is long dead.
-
You cannot say that,
there is no proof!
-
Everyone who fought at Troy
has long returned home.
-
Either Lord Odysseus is dead,
lost in Poseidon's graveyard,
-
or.
-
He has chose not to return,
-
to abandon your mother,
-
his kingdom,
-
and you.
-
Now, your mother will choose
one of us
-
and marry again.
-
Mother.
-
Men are in the hall.
-
They say they're here for you.
-
Men who say my father is dead!
-
They have brought gifts,
-
I must receive them.
And you must.
-
The custom is clear.
-
Welcome guests,
feed them openly.
-
I will respect this as
you father did, and so will you!
-
I will not!
-
Finish, Melanthe.
-
Mistress.
-
You are still beautiful.
-
The nobles of Ithaca
will beg at your feet.
-
I will receive these men,
and that is all.
-
They will have nothing which
belongs to Odysseus.
-
Not his fortunes
-
and not his wife.
-
The river of fire.
-
Let me come with you.
-
No.
-
I must cross it myself.
-
You soul will burn away.
-
I know you would follow me now.
-
You have always followed me.
-
You are my warriors.
-
The time has not come
to enter this house.
-
This house of death.
-
We've suffered the lost
of many men,
-
together.
-
We survive,
-
together.
-
And now,
-
we may never be
in each other's eyes
-
ever again.
-
- You will be back.
- And if I'm not?
-
We will not reach Ithaca
without you!
-
Yes, you will. You will.
-
It is I, am lost.
-
And if I do not return,
-
you row,
-
row without end.
-
You will reach Ithaca.
-
Stay!
-
Stay!
-
Stay back!
-
This ram is not for you!
-
Stay!
-
Stay!
-
Stay!
-
Antiphus!
-
You must show me Tiresias.
-
Please!
-
Bring me to him.
-
You have risked much
-
to seek a blind prophet.
-
Tiresias!
-
Bring the ram forward,
offer it up.
-
First, show me the way.
-
You are a clever man,
Odysseus of Ithaca,
-
but not a very wise one.
-
You keep your eyes
only on your home.
-
Blinded, you do not see
that it is the journey itself
-
which makes up your life.
-
Only when you understand this
will you understand the meaning of wisdom.
-
No.
-
The wisdom.
-
I will find alone.
-
Help me find my way!
-
The answer has been before
your eyes, every night at sea.
-
On this side of Poseidon's realm,
-
there is a constellation which
never sinks beneath the horizon,
-
shapes like a hunter.
-
- The Orion.
- Yes!
-
Sail towards it's brightest star.
-
And there,
-
You will reach the Strait of Scylla
-
and Charybdis.
-
On one side,
-
there is a creature,
vile, ferocious.
-
That is Scylla.
-
Insatiable for blood,
she lurks in the shadows
-
hoping to fill her belly.
-
And the other?
-
A tidal pool, Charybdis.
-
Her waters appear calm.
-
She invites you in,
-
but she is a thing
of terror, Odysseus.
-
When she opens her gaping mouth,
-
you and all with you,
-
will be swallowed by her force!
Ha-ha-ha.
-
This way, my son.
-
- Mother.
- Yes, I am here.
-
Mother.
-
I took my own life out of grief.
-
I could wait no longer for you.
-
- Mother.
- Forgive me.
-
You must leave this place.
-
Where is Penelope?
-
- She is waiting for you.
- Where?
-
You must hurry.
-
Men are trying
to steal your world.
-
Penelope was alive
and waiting for me.
-
But my mother's words
burned my soul.
-
Men would stop at nothing
to steal my kingdom.
-
- Who's this thing?
- Look at this fool!
-
- You are Queen Penelope?
- I am the wife of king Odysseus.
-
I humbly...
-
I am humble...
-
What?
-
I am Elatus of Dulichium.
-
I own sheep
-
and pigs.
-
I have come
-
I am here
-
to join these noble men.
-
I bring gifts of
-
gold and wool, and music,
and jugglers to your palace.
-
Play!
-
You don't stand a chance.
-
The finest in Dulichium.
-
Woman!
-
Bring us more wine!
-
I hope my father died a hero.
-
If he is alive,
he has forgotten me.
-
Come.
-
Come with me.
-
The day the gods gave you to us,
they took your father from me.
-
But he promised me, with you
lying here in my arms,
-
that he would return alive,
-
as this tree around which
we built own world is alive.
-
If he's alive,
why hasn't he come?
-
I know your father. He is alive.
-
There is something you must know.
-
The day you father sailed,
-
I swore to him a promise
-
that if he had not returned
by the time you were a man,
-
beard on your chin,
-
that I must remarry.
-
I will keep my promise.
-
We have time to wait.
-
You do not have your beard yet.
-
And these men?
-
I'll hold them off.
-
Take me to your mistress,
I need to talk to her.
-
Queen Penelope.
-
All here, believe Odysseus,
king of Ithaca is died.
-
Yes?
-
I do not.
-
Today, I will begin to weave
a shroud for my lost husband.
-
If he is not seen in
Ithaca before I finished
-
I will choose one of you to
take his place beside me.
-
I will send for maidens
to help you.
-
I alone, must do this work.
-
Weave alone?
-
We will be old man
by the time you finish.
-
You have brought gifts
to my door.
-
I have given you
a proper feast in return.
-
Now I depend on your Honour.
Return to your homes.
-
When my work is done,
you will hear my decision.
-
We will stay where we are.
-
We will not leave here
until you choose.
-
Leave slowly.
-
Your husband's wine is very good.
-
Winter turn to summer
-
as we neared the Straits
of Scylla and Charybdis.
-
After a 16 year ordeal,
-
nothing could frighten me
or my warriors.
-
But we have never seen what
waited between those rocks.
-
Anticlus.
-
Light a torch.
-
There is nothing there.
-
Give me a torch!
Give me a torch!
-
Give me a torch!
-
- Elpenor!
- Push.
-
Get down! Push! Push!
-
Is it in there?
-
- Oh no!
- No.
-
Come on!
-
Try me!
-
Polites.
-
Give it the goat.
-
Scylla.
-
Athena, protect us.
-
Push. Push.
-
Push! Push! Push!
-
Come on!
-
Come on!
-
Come on! Try me.
-
AWWWWW!
-
Row!
-
Stay to the side!
-
Row for your lives!
-
Charybdis.
-
Hold on!
-
Climb! Polites, climb!
-
Climb!
-
Anticlus!
-
Eurylochus. Hold on!
-
Master! Master!
-
- Ahhhhh!
- Polites!
-
Odysseus!
-
- Master! Master!
- Eurybates!
-
Eurybates! Hold!
-
Hold! Hold!
-
Hold!
-
Anticlus.
-
- Master!
- Anticlus.
-
- Master!
- Hold on!
-
Hold on!
-
Master!
-
Awwwwwww!
-
Anticlus!
-
Eurybates!
-
Eurybates!
-
Eurycleia!
-
Can't you see?
-
The men are thirsty!
-
This tapestry will never be finish.
-
- I will take the work if you wish.
- No!
-
Lock the doors.
-
Mistress?
-
The door.
-
I will serve these
filthy strangers no longer.
-
Drinking, sleeping where they drop.
-
I have to crawl over that pig, Elatus,
each time I went open the treasury!
-
And to watch men
from our own island
-
eat you and Telemachus
out of house and home!
-
It's more than I can bear.
-
- At least there is life here now.
- Melanthe, quiet.
-
Yes, take care, you.
-
I have seen the way you went
after that snake, Eurymachus.
-
He asked me to serve him.
-
- I cannot refuse my mistress's guest.
- Guest?
-
Guest leave when asked.
-
How much longer
can we stand this?
-
- How much longer do we have to take, you pigs!
- Calm down, Eurycleia. Calm down.
-
- Stop it. Listen to me.
- You pigs!
-
Listen, I've ordered you!
Do not tempt me!
-
They will have no meat!
-
They will-They will go.
-
You can't drive them away.
They are man.
-
They will follow their empty bellies.
-
Penelope! Penelope, I've won!
-
Me! I've won!
-
Alone.
-
My men lost before my eyes.
-
I float endlessly on Poseidon sea.
-
Wondering when he will take my life.
-
People.
-
People.
-
Where am I?
-
You are safe.
-
- I need water.
- Bring him water.
-
I need a ship.
-
There are none here.
-
Huh?
-
No one comes or goes
from my island.
-
I must-I must find a way home.
-
Water.
-
You are home.
-
Please do not mind my maids.
-
You are the first man
they have seen in their lives.
-
I myself, have not laid eyes on one
for over 100 years.
-
You are a goddess.
-
I am Calypso.
-
Come.
-
Rest.
-
It is only a dream.
-
No.
-
It's real.
-
My men.
-
My brothers.
-
They are lost.
-
- You must forget.
- No.
-
- No.
- Forget.
-
Telemachus!
-
What are you doing here
in the dark?
-
I got to kill Antinous.
All of them if I have to.
-
Calm yourself, Telemachus.
-
Antinous is a warrior,
he's been to battle.
-
He has cut man in two
with his sword!
-
- You have not done that yet.
- Now is the time.
-
No, it is not.
-
If you kill him,
the others will not leave.
-
You will give them an excuse
to turn against you.
-
Then tell me,
-
what can l I do?
-
Do as your father would do.
-
Call on those who are
still loyal to him for help.
-
Me?
-
Call the assembly? Who am I?
-
You know who you are.
-
You are Odysseus' son.
-
Call them here.
-
They will listen.
-
Ithaca has call!
-
All to the assembly!
-
Ithaca has call!
-
All to the assembly!
-
In the name of Athena...
In the name of Athena...
-
Hear me, good men!
-
Hear me!
-
I am Mentor,
keeper of the staff.
-
I have long, long, long
awaited for this day.
-
Mentor, let him speak.
-
Yeah. Here.
-
Good men.
-
It is I, Prince Telemachus,
son of Odysseus,
-
King of Ithaca, who summoned you
to this place.
-
An army of suitors
has invaded my palace.
-
They slaughtered my oxen,
my pigs, my sheep to feast on.
-
Soon, I will have nothing
to eat myself.
-
They offer no proof
of my father's death,
-
yet seek to take his place.
-
And before my mother's eyes,
-
they beat my servants
and rape my maids!
-
I ask you. Men of Ithaca.
-
In my father's name.
-
Help me rid my house
of these shameless thieves!
-
Good men!
-
Hear me!
-
The boy lies!
-
We suitors, have broken no law,
-
taken nothing which was
not rightfully ours!
-
Shame lies with his mother!
-
We brought our precious gifts,
and she took them with open arms!
-
Now she must choose between us
-
which is right.
-
This is your right.
-
She must choose.
-
Good men!
-
Not one of us
should spill blood over pigs and sheep.
-
Ah. Yes?
-
- Yes!
- Yeah!
-
We can do no more. Let us go.
-
- But my father...
- He's dead!
-
You want to kill me.
-
Kill me. I can see it.
-
Wait, please! Wait!
-
If you will not help me,
then give me a ship.
-
I will sail from Ithaca
and find my father.
-
It is no use, Telemachus.
-
Wait.
-
Wait.
-
The boy should not be punished.
-
If he wishes a ship,
we will give him a ship.
-
Elders?
-
- You will have your ship, Telemachus.
- You will have your ship, Telemachus!
-
Go and find your father.
-
- You have a reason for this?
- He will end like his father.
-
- And if he returns?
- We will greet him,
-
with the spear in his back.
-
When I touch you skin,
I wonder how you got this scar.
-
In Troy.
-
The day Achilles was
taken from us.
-
- From a battle.
- A wild boar.
-
I was 15...
-
and my mother cried
-
tears of happiness.
-
Over here!
-
Here!
-
Here! Here!
-
Over here! Here!
-
HERE! HERE!
-
Bring him back!
-
You were going to leave without
even thanking me for my kindness.
-
Don't you see.
No one leaves my island!
-
And all that live here
exist to serve me.
-
There'll be another ship.
-
Perhaps, in another 10 years,
perhaps never.
-
Forget Ithaca.
-
You're home now.
-
You did not say goodbye
to your mother.
-
The sorrow is on your face.
-
She'll try to stop me.
-
- You are right to fear the sea.
- I am not afraid!
-
I have never set foot
from Ithaca.
-
Do not worry.
The gods are watching you.
-
- With favor.
- Favor.
-
- They gods have cursed me.
- Oh, oh, oh.
-
- Since the day I was born.
- Ha-ha-ha.
-
- Let me alone.
- Heh-heh-heh.
-
Your head is as hard
as your father's.
-
Athena.
-
Uh-huh.
-
You? A Mentor?
-
When I wish to be, yes.
-
You spoke very well
at your assembly.
-
You kept your wits
-
and used them wisely
to get the ship.
-
But you did not help me.
-
You are your father's son.
-
Remember.
The gods will not do for man,
-
what man must do for himself.
-
You must make this journey.
-
This wind will take you.
-
Go.
-
Go, before the ship
sails without you.
-
I have never cross the sea.
Where should I go?
-
- Sparta!
- Sparta.
-
Sparta. Menelaus!
-
What would I say to such a man?
-
Use your wits. I will guide you.
-
I cannot hear you!
-
I'm alone now.
-
For 2 more years,
Calypso's island was my prison.
-
Forgotten by the outside world,
-
abandon by Athena.
-
My hopes of ever
reaching Penelope
-
began to fade.
-
- Hermes.
- Non other.
-
Oh. Calypso, the concealer
is not over joy to see me?
-
Get away from here.
-
Calypso. I am only a messenger.
-
Who loves to bring painful news.
-
You've keeping this man prisoner.
-
I have given him a home!
-
It is not Odysseus' fate
to end his days on your island.
-
You are to set him free
without delay.
-
These are the words from
the lips of Zeus himself.
-
Neither Zeus nor any god
pity Odysseus,
-
it is envy which sends you here.
-
They are all outraged by me
openly making love to a mortal man.
-
- Choosing him as my husband.
- Calypso.
-
It is I, who pulled him
from the sea,
-
who tended to his wounds.
-
You're all are jealous
of my happiness!
-
Do not incur Zeus's wrath.
-
Offer this man his freedom
-
or your island will be driven
to the bottom of Poseidon sea.
-
Farewell!
-
Stop it!
-
Go home to your Penelope.
-
Why?
-
Is there a ship?
-
No. Now, go!
-
Swim.
-
I do not care.
-
They will not try to stop you.
-
Just leave my eyes!
-
A moment ago, you left this cave
with so much love in your eyes.
-
Now, you want me to leave?
-
You are no longer worthy of me.
-
Why weave that?
-
Did someone come to you?
-
Was it Hermes?
-
You must help me build a ship.
-
Please. Please.
-
On the far side of the island,
-
in a cave there is dry wood.
-
Washed onto the shore
as you were,
-
as you were.
-
Here, boy. Here, boy.
-
Take this. Take this.
-
Tender meat.
-
Oh!
-
Tender meat.
-
I will find my own.
-
You are not afraid of me.
-
Because you are a woman.
-
I only wanted to
offer you some wine.
-
Just a taste.
-
Tell me.
-
What keeps your mistress
from finishing her tapestry?
-
More.
-
Come on, where is that girl?
-
It is a secret.
-
It is a secret.
-
Melanthe?
-
Melanthe, where are you?
-
Where's the boy? Send the boy.
-
Go on, boy. Go.
-
Melanthe, where are you?
-
Melanthe!
-
So it is true.
-
I do not mean to frighten you
tend to your room
-
but I had to see.
-
Oh, my.
-
Leave me.
-
It is a mistake.
-
Now, your deceit can
only bring trouble.
-
I will not speak a word,
but your maid,
-
she may tell another.
-
Melanthe.
-
I have no choice.
-
You will not trick
them much longer.
-
It has been too long
since you felt a man's touch.
-
16 years.
-
Longer.
-
Take my. End this siege tonight.
-
These other men,
they come for your fortune.
-
I come for you.
-
I cannot.
-
I love my husband.
-
Your husband
-
is not alive.
-
I will wait for his return,
-
or till my son brings proof.
-
I am sorry.
-
It is I, who have no choice.
-
I am sorry.
-
You may stay if you choose to.
-
You wife has aged
during these years, Odysseus.
-
She will not match my beauty.
-
No mortal woman
could ever match you.
-
I love Penelope.
-
And she has aged
-
as I have.
-
And when I reach Ithaca
-
we will grow old together.
-
With me, you will
never grow old.
-
Never die!
-
I can make you immortal!
-
I would rather lie in my wife's arms
for one moment as a man,
-
than to live forever without her.
-
Who is this boy, my son brings?
-
Telemachus of Ithaca, Highness.
-
Welcome to Sparta, stranger.
-
There is the king. Now, go.
-
Good king Menelaus.
-
I've travelled long
and far to meet you.
-
Oh. You have your father's
searching eyes.
-
The same thoughtful forehead.
-
Yes.
-
Oh, yes.
-
You are Odysseus' son,
you are his son.
-
I sailed from Ithaca
to find him.
-
Can you help me?
-
You know.
-
I saw you on the day
you were born.
-
It was the proudest and most
painful day of your father's life.
-
We fought at Troy, side by side.
-
Watching our brothers fall.
-
Your father stopped the slaughter.
-
He freed us to return to Greece.
-
But...
-
he will never
see his home again.
-
He's dead.
-
How can you know?
-
Not one day,
-
not one hour
-
pass for Odysseus of Troy,
-
with you and your mother
in his heart.
-
Only death
-
could stop him
returning to Ithaca.
-
But you...
-
You, Telemachus,
you must return.
-
You must fight
-
for what is his.
-
And yours.
-
Now,
-
go.
-
Poseidon!
-
Poseidon!
-
Poseidon!
-
What do you want?
-
Poseidon!
-
What do you want from me?
-
I want you to suffer
-
much more.
-
I have nothing left!
-
I have nothing!
-
All that is left is my life!
-
My goal is not to kill you.
-
You must understand.
-
What?
-
What?
-
What? What?
-
What do you want from me?
-
What do you want
me to understand?
-
Speak to me!
-
Speak to me!
-
That without gods,
-
man is nothing.
-
Quickly, Quickly. Come and see!
-
Come and see. Look!
-
I was alive.
-
Broken by Poseidon's waves
-
and still far from Ithaca,
-
but I was alive.
-
I have reached Phaeacia,
-
the land of mariners and fishermen.
-
Unsure whether I will be welcomed,
-
I was lead to the
palace of their ruler,
-
the powerful king...
-
Alcinous.
-
I shared with you my food.
-
Now, will you share with me
-
- your name?
- I cannot.
-
My name has long been cursed.
-
To let it leave my lips
would only cause you pain.
-
I know only one long lost hero,
-
who being curse by
the gods could survive.
-
It's cunning Odysseus.
-
I am he.
-
I never dreamed I would
see Odysseus himself.
-
It's an honour to all Phaeacie
-
that such a hero as Odysseus
of Ithaca, sits among us.
-
I will give my finest ship
-
heavy with gifts and food,
and the finest mariners of all Phaeacie,
-
to sail you safely home.
-
The Phaeacians carried me
towards Ithaca.
-
But it was Poseidon,
-
who allowed me
to continue my journey
-
to consider his words.
-
I understood that I was
only 1 man in the world.
-
Nothing more
-
and nothing less.
-
4th night without a sleep.
-
His body will fail him in Ithaca.
-
Pontonous!
-
Come here!
-
Blend a sleeping potion.
-
Here.
-
Drink this.
-
Who's there?
-
My cheese.
-
Master.
-
My wine.
-
Master, it's you.
-
My bread.
-
Master. You're alive.
-
Eumaeus.
-
I...
-
am alive.
-
Eumaeus!
-
Who is that?
-
Your son.
-
- He left a year ago to look for you.
- Go. Go, bring him here.
-
Telemachus.
-
You're safe!
-
- Yes.
- Look at you!
-
- Tell me. How's my mother?
- She will be over-joy to see you.
-
But come,
tell me of your journey.
-
Later, I must go to her.
-
Telemachus!
-
Who is it? Who is there?
-
It is your father.
-
Do not dare say those words!
Come out of there!
-
What trick is this?
-
It's not a trick.
-
You cannot be my father.
-
- Odysseus is dead!
- Odysseus is alive
-
and he's standing before you.
-
Stay back!
-
Please.
-
Look at me.
-
Do you see yourself
-
in my face?
-
I see only a man,
with no respect for a son's feelings.
-
No, no. You are my son,
-
and these are the hands, here,
-
which brought you
into this world, here.
-
In this field, no?
-
I held you
-
for all the world to see.
-
I showed you Ithaca.
-
I showed you your home
for the first time.
-
And then I was taken
from you and your mother.
-
I placed you in her arms
-
in our bed
-
which I give her to
with these hands.
-
She must have told you this.
-
Father.
-
My boy.
-
Father.
-
And it makes myself sick!
-
These men have got black hearts!
They fear nothing!
-
- They will all run like dogs now.
- Yes!
-
- They deserve to die!
- Yes!
-
Antinous most of all.
-
Eumaeus, bring them food
for the feast.
-
I'll never feed them again.
Never!
-
You... will do
-
as you have always done.
-
Do you trust your crew?
-
No.
-
They were given to me
out of the suitors men.
-
Tell them you will
join them later.
-
But tell no one I have come.
-
Especially your mother.
-
Have patience.
-
Ease your mind.
-
That's why I love you,
my Odysseus.
-
Any other man,
after so many years,
-
would have rushed home to
embrace his wife and children.
-
And blinded by his impatience, would have
been hacked in two by the intruders.
-
Only you know better.
-
Then, tell me,
how do I still keep my life
-
and free my house of these men?
-
Are these suitors what
you are truly afraid of?
-
There is nothing left
for me to fear.
-
You see me trembling.
-
- I tremble with rage.
- Oh. You still lie well, my Odysseus.
-
But I know what
your head ask your heart.
-
You are afraid your Penelope
has been untrue to you.
-
I need to know if
her heart is still with me.
-
That, I cannot help you with.
-
But.
-
Only your son will
recognize you this way.
-
Go to your palace.
-
Find the answers you seek.
-
You will not know your house when
you see what they have done.
-
You want to kill
as much as I do!
-
It is not the time to fight.
-
You must learn
-
to be angry is easy
-
but to be angry at the right man
-
at the right time
-
and for the right reason,
-
this is difficult.
-
- Do you understand?
- Yes.
-
Repeat!
-
Quiet!
-
Our prince has shown his face.
-
With an old beggar at his side.
-
He is mine! I will cut out his heart
and feed it to the dogs.
-
Calm yourself, think.
-
He must attack first,
or all Ithaca will rise against us.
-
He'll never do it.
My voice makes him tremble.
-
Prince Telemachus. Welcome home.
-
The gods have delivered you safely.
-
He went for his father
and found a filthy beggar!
-
Tell us, why have you
given up your search?
-
I sailed to Sparta, and heard
the words from king Menelaus' lips.
-
I believe my father lies
at the bottom of the sea.
-
Ah. He finally understands.
-
And you see, we have..
-
Certain rights
-
in your home.
-
Yes.
-
The boy prince has returned
home as a man of honour!
-
And look!
-
He even has his beard.
-
His first beard.
-
Weak, but it is a beard.
-
It is time for you to enter the ring.
Enter into manhood.
-
I will accept
any challenge you offer.
-
- But now I must be with my mother.
- His mother.
-
Until then, this beggar
is a guest in my house.
-
Feed him generously.
-
Bring your bowl.
They will serve you.
-
You see.
I delivered the boy to you.
-
- I cannot kill him in the ring!
- You can.
-
As long as he tries
to kill you first.
-
I did not find him.
-
But I know my father is alive.
-
Mother, you must hear me.
-
I brought a wise old man.
A beggar.
-
He may help us find father.
-
When the palace sleeps,
I will let you see him.
-
Now I must go.
-
Antinous has challenged me.
-
And as a man, I must accept.
-
Yes.
-
You are a man now.
-
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
-
Know your place, beggar!
-
You first scar!
-
Fight for your life!
-
Do not take this humiliation.
-
Take this.
-
Today is the day.
-
Antinous!
-
You're dead!
-
Come here!
-
Kill me.
-
Kill me!
-
You've wanted to for 3 years!
Are you man enough?
-
NO-OOO!
-
To be angry is easy!
-
Come here.
-
Kill me!
-
It's not the right time.
-
Go on, coward.
-
Attack me!
-
- I will survive.
- There is no shame.
-
Tend your wounds.
-
Tell your mother
you conquered your anger.
-
Go.
-
My mistress sent me
to tend to you.
-
Her son told her.
-
Thank you for saving his life.
-
You love this boy?
-
His father left him in my care,
the day he was born.
-
That scar.
-
I know that scar.
-
Master.
-
Do not speak one word,
-
or all is lost.
-
Eurycleia!
-
Queen...
-
Penelope.
-
I wanted to thank you.
-
And to tell you
-
that I was sorry you were
treated poorly in my house.
-
There is no need.
-
I'm here for a night.
-
For you, trapped in this palace,
it must
-
must be an anarchy.
-
Yes.
-
I must end this misery
while my son is still alive.
-
Tomorrow.
-
I will set a contest
for my hand.
-
And you are right
-
to wish for a new husband.
-
I do not wish it.
-
But
-
the day Odysseus left, he...
-
he took my by my hand
-
here, right here,
-
so gently and
-
he asked me to promise
-
that I would do this.
-
This is the last sacrifice
I can make for him.
-
He's alive, Odysseus.
-
He's alive.
-
He knows
-
your sorrow,
-
your pain,
-
and he longs to touch your hands
-
and hold you in his eyes.
-
Kiss your lips.
-
He will come to defend you.
-
You will see.
-
He will come.
-
If only it were true.
-
Good night.
-
Tomorrow!
-
I will take my world back.
-
Get the spears.
-
Bring the grape!
-
Bring it over here.
-
Ah. Philotus.
-
What are these axes?
-
Philotus.
-
The goatherd, he's with us.
He may be trusted.
-
Tell us, shepherd!
-
What is your mistress's plan?
-
I will tell you all.
-
This is the bow of Odysseus,
king of Ithaca.
-
The man who strings it
-
and shoots an arrow cleanly
through all 12 axes,
-
will take his place.
-
What?
-
This is no way to choose.
-
It cannot be done!
-
My father did it.
-
- Huh?
- Maybe he can do it.
-
Wait!
-
Wait.
You will not see the winner.
-
You all are the same to me.
-
Oh. Ha ha ha.
-
It's not fair!
-
I have never strung a bow.
This is not right!
-
I gave up 50 sheep,
-
a hundred goats,
-
- as gifts from Dulichium!
- And return there then, fool.
-
It's impossible.
-
- He would be able to do it!
- I'll enjoy it.
-
Only 2 tries, Eurymahcus.
-
- You can't do it!
- Come on.
-
No. No, he's going.
-
- Come on. You're nearly there.
- No!
-
- Ha-ha-ha!
- Eh-ha-ha...
-
Farewell, Odysseus.
-
I have been true to my word.
-
Telemachus has ordered us
to the main chambers.
-
We are to lock ourselves in.
-
Hurry. Hurry.
-
Hide them. Hide them, hurry.
-
Athena be with us.
-
I've waited long enough!
Give it here, weakling.
-
Now, watch this.
-
Come on, Antinous.
Let's see you do it.
-
- Come on!
- Come on.
-
- Come on!
- Give it a go!
-
Oh! Come on, now!
-
If I cannot do it,
no man alive can!
-
- No. Impossible.
- It's impossible.
-
And what about
a man who is dead?
-
What are you doing?
-
Don't be foolish.
-
Who are you, old man?
-
Do you know me now?
-
Odysseus.
-
Odysseus.
-
Telemachus.
-
Now is the right time
to use your anger.
-
AAAWWWWW!!
-
Aww!
-
Wait! Wait!
-
Wait! WAIT!
-
What is our crime?
-
We treated your wife as a queen.
-
We lived off your land,
but that can be replaced.
-
We did not kill anyone.
-
You crime is that
you try to steal my world.
-
The world I built with my hands
-
and my sweat.
-
Now, anyone...
-
and my blood.
-
The world I shared with a woman
-
who bore me my son,
-
and no one will ever
-
take that from me!
-
Now you will die to a man
-
in a river of blood.
-
A river of blood!
-
The spear!
-
We cannot die like lambs!
-
Open the door!
-
Your masters are not
worth dieing for.
-
Melanthe!
-
Open the doors!
-
Melanthe!
-
Melanthe!
-
Open the doors!
-
No!
-
No!
-
Father!
-
Ah.
-
Don't let your mother's
eyes fall on this room.
-
When it is cleansed...
-
you tell her I'm home.
-
Odysseus!
-
( Athena. )
-
I will never leave you.
-
How much I must have changed.
-
No.
-
You are still the same.
-
You're still a liar, Odysseus.
-
It's 20 years since you
held me in your eyes.
-
That was only one day.
-
And in one day
-
you've seen all the world.
-
Yes.
-
And it's mostly
sacred and beautiful,
-
but nothing as beautiful
as a man's own world.
-
That he can take in his hands
-
and it will always be his.
-
You are my world.
