According to the laws of hospitality.

Here, we have no laws! We do what we want!

You ...

Are you alone?

No, my brothers occupy the large caves.

Where are your parents?

Our mother is a nymph. Our

father is the mighty Poseidon.

Poseidon ...

I am the youngest, Polyphme.

What have you brought?

Brought?

We thought that ...

If you share a few sheep ...

we could prepare you a feast.

A feast!

Cheese?

I love meat!

No!

Why not?

Because men do not eat them.

The Cyclops, though!

Headline Who's next?

No, lower your arms ...

A My turn! Please.

Of course, in doing so, as you devour

the magic contained in my skull.

Do you know what magic is lr

-in?

I spit out your head!

But you do not understand ...

The son of Poseidon, however, are not stupid!

You're not stupid!

If you kill me, you destroy all

the secrets of the world!

What secrets?

What secrets?

Antiklos, wine!

- What is it?

- Wine. This is the drink of the gods!

Taste!

I like that!

Odysseus is alive and you can stop it!

Father, avenge me!

Island of the Cyclops into the sunset.

Be quiet!

You're surprised? Admit it! I see

that you are surprised!

Who are you?

I Aeolus, god of the winds.

This is my island, where gentle

breezes and storms are rooted.

Well, since I am the nearest source ... Why

do not you allow me to drink?

Advance!

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're the

only who can not go home.

Poseidon still believes he can stop.

Guess who is the keeper of the winds?

It's me.

We'll show him! Give me that.

Give me that ...

Ulysses.

Thank you.

We'll show him.

I'm up!

These winds ...

Full of mischief! I left only

the west wind free.

In nine days, he brought thee thy

ship and you, r Ithaca.

And now ...

Catch!

Why do you help me?

Because you are the first mortal

who uses his brain!

And who knew there was always

something to learn nearest!

Now go!

Above all, this also does not open!

Ulysses lucky ...

We found water, and he ... he found gold.

Or better yet!

Not ...

I'll tell you what's inside Once

we're in Ithaca, not before.

Soon, Aeolus had promised me ...

Soon I will see my Penelope,

my son, my homeland.

Tell nearest Penelope I will not sleep

until you have found our bed.

Go!

Go get the wood!

My heart runaway like ...

I'm afraid to say it.

He finally fell asleep!

Then we must open the sack!

It must be filled with riches!

We'll bet.

Politis!

But I want my share.

- Perimedes?

- You can open it,

it belongs to the master.

- What is the master is ours!

- Ulysses can keep ...

- I just want to see it.

- Me too.

Ithica!

Ithaca! Ithaca is!

Ithaca!

We're home!

- I must wake the master!

- No.

Once we're there, we cannot anymore see what's

in the sack!

A strange feeling came over me.

Yes ...

It happens.

Master!

Hurry!

Silence!

- Go!

- Not easy to open.

What have you done?

What have you done?

Bring the seil!

Bring the seil!

I told you not to open prior to Ithaca!

Not before Ithaca!

What have you done?

Poor fools! You have betrayed me!

Poor fools!

You have betrayed me!

Or is it you were?

It is a boat?

But hope to hold in my

arms at last Penelope ...

was swept away by the fury

of the raging winds.

Carried away by the storm ...

all our food and our water lost ...

Now we were stranded ...

on the far side of the world.

- Food!

- Stay away!

Here, master, all I could find.

You will not have a grain of me.

You have acted alone, you must starve alone.

If there is game here ...

I will kill it! But I ...

I will share it! with my brothers!

Politis go with him.

Eyes open.

Perimedes!

Of gold and silver!

You have also opened and now we're starving!

Calm down!

Food!

Get him!

Get him!

A pig! Catch the pig!

Stop him!

No!

Stop grumbling!

I beg you, stop!

Where are the others?

- Captured!

- By whom?

It Politis! Our Politis turned into a pig!

- Eurylochus, don't let me kid.

- It's true! I swear it!

This is the island of

a witch, a sorceress!

It has transformed our animal companions,

- I saw with my own eyes!

- He's lying to protect themselves!

What did you, coward? You

run from the fight?

Master!

Let him speak!

We followed a trail to the

summit of the mountain,

and suddenly came to the woods,

the sweet song of a woman

invited us to join.

the witch.

We came nearest to his palace of stone,

surrounded by animals: lions, wolves ...

We saw in the distance from

a window nearest the other,

singing her song ...

She invited us to come and eat and drink

of his smooth voice, and all entrrent.

I stayed in the rear, yes! And

I pretty well made me wary!

Continue.

I approached ... And I saw ...

There was music. The witch

has reached out ...

Impossible!

Only Politiss a success of yourself away!

- Yes, it looks like nearest Politis.

- Shut up!

Master, you will not believe ...

Are we going to starve because

of his lies nearest?

If you touch the nearest pig,

I'll strangle nearest bare hands!

Enough!

- You swear it's true?

- On my life!

Master!

Master, do not go! It will throw you a lot!

I sent them over there.

I bring them back.

Stay away!

Don't try to get closer!

Antiklos?

Where are the others?

Warning ...

Hermes, the messenger of the gods.

- In person.

- Finally!

Athena sent you.

I beg you ...

Catches up with my sword.

Sorry.

Not allowed to touch.

Only he talk to you. Take my advice:

Reach the rock.

Which?

One!

Hey!

Swallow this.

Not ... It's moly ...

It has poison.

It is I who give it to you

... A god to a mortal.

No, I refuse.

Good!

But it is the only way to

counter the fate of the witch.

You do not trust me?

She knows that you get.

But now

when you drink the potion with honey,

you shall preserve human form.

This will disconcert the witch.

Frightens her a little! It will make

you an offer then ...

Take her to bed.

It does not say she is a goddess!

Only after that it will make you your men.
