Come on! You're almost there.

You must be hungry and thirsty.

Again.

Very sweet.

You do not change me.

No?

No.

What will you do with that knife?

Remove yourself life.

Do it.

And the more you will never

again see your men.

Ulysses!

If you want your soldiers regain

their human form ...

Are you still a man?

Band of assassins without faith! Murderers,

here what you are!

Belly full of assassins!

I believe you, Eurylochus, but I

can not stop them alone!

I'll take your part!

Do not cut me, species of idiot!

Politis! I told you it was him!

- Politis!

- You remember Politis!

They will remember you!

Bring your men here ...

To eat and rest.

Circe ...

Music fills our senses ...

and minds with the magic of the lotus petals.

His potions weakened our bodies ...

- I'm going hunting.

- Not with that!

Not yet!

But it is mine!

If I am old enough to keep cattle

from my father and hunt his game,

- I am old enough to use his bow!

- If you can string it...

then you can hunt with.

If you can not,

you will place it to your father's treasury

til I give it to you.

It Anticleia mistress! She goes to

the shore! Come quickly!

Anticleia!

Anticleia!

I can not wait!

If Ulysses is dead ...

- I will find in the sea

- it is alive!

We will wait together.

- Together!

- Nooo!

Leave me!

Anticleia!

I am ashamed ...

But my stone heart have broken.

It only remains for me nothing to be crying!

You're not the mother of my

husband, you're my mother!

You're my father ...

You're strong enough!

You make me feel ...

nearest your side.

Even ...

since Hades.

No!

Please ...

You will not stop.

No tears.

Yes.

Why?

When we shared this bed, you've forgotten.

No.

You have given so much, Circe ...

but no bed in the world

will make me forget Penelope.

Not in my lifetime ...

let alone in five days.

Poor Ulysses ...

who believe they have been here for five

days, while it has been five years.

How do you play?

What you think one day or one hour ...

is a year out of these walls.

I saw the sun rise and set, it is impossible.

If you need proof,

will see your boat, five years

covered by the tide.

And ask yourself if the memory of your

wife is as good as yours!

Or has found a new companion!

Awake!

Awake!

Up!

Awake!

I see that now you believe me.

You have conspired against me with Poseidon!

Do not blame the gods for your actions,

Fifteen years ... I have not seen my son ...

and my country.

And my mother ...

Or hit your wife lonely.

You will lose more than five years, if

you do not realize what you are.

You, open your eyes and see who I am!

Or nearest you to help me go home ...

I know a man who knows how to nearest Ithaca.

Speak!

- Tiresias, the seer.

- Tiresias is dead!

If you still want to go home,

Only LR or you will find

answers nearest your questions.

The Hads ...

The kingdom of the dead.

You are right to be scared.

How do I find Tiresias?

You'll have to cross a river of

fire and sacrifice a ram.

Then you must enter the fire ...

Go!

Five years ran away with the tide!

Five years of suffering for Penelope!

And my son?

He has fifteen years!

And still ...

without his father.

The boy ...

Lord Antinous ...

Lord Eurymachus, nobles of Ithaca ...

New?

No.

Your father died a long time!

You can not say that there is no evidence!

All those who fought nearest Troy

went home long ago.

Or the lord Odysseus is dead, and

the sea is his tomb,

or ...

he chose not to return ...

and abandon your mother ...

and you.

and remarry.

Men are in the lobby ...

They say they come for you.

Men ... who say that my father is dead!

They brought presents, I receive

them. And you too!

So is the custom:

welcome our guests, feed them ...

Your father respected these uses, too,

you will do the same!

No way!

Termine, Mlanthe.

Mistress ...

You're still beautiful!

The nobles of Ithaca nearest

knees begging you!

I receive these men and that's it.

They have nothing that

belongs nearest Ulysses.

Neither his wealth ...

The river of fire ...

Not ...

I must cross it alone.

Your soul will be washed away by the flames.

You have always followed.

You are my warriors.

Your time has not rung in

arriving at this house ...

The remains of Hads.

We have suffered the loss

of many comrades ...

together.

together.

And now ...

it may well be that we are together ...

If you get there!

You'll get there.

It is I who would be lost without you.

Eventually you will reach Ithaca.

Rear!

Rear!

This ram is not for you!

Rear!

Rear!

- Come on!

- Rear!

Antiphus!

McNee Tiresias nearest me.

Please!

to find a blind seer.

Amne the ram and sacrificed it.

First, show me the road.

You're a cunning man, Odysseus of Ithaca ...

but not very wise.

Your eyes are blinded by your own country ...

Can not you see that your journey

that gives meaning nearest your life.

When you have understood this, you will

understand the meaning of "wisdom".

Not ...

Wisdom ...

I'll find one.

Help me find my nearest way!

The answer was in your eyes

all the nights at sea

From this side of the kingdom of Poseidon ...

is a constellation which is never

below the horizon ...

crouched like a hunter.

Put the cap on its brightest star ...

you will reach the Straits of Scylla ...

and Charybdis.

On the one hand ...

Scylla is.

Always thirsty for blood, she hides

in the shadows ...

And the other?

The gulf marine Charybdis?

Its waters seem calm ...

She invites R goes ...

but it is a terrifying creature! When

she opens her mouth wide open,

you and all those who accompany you ...

will be swallowed by his power!

This way, my son.

- Mre ...

- Yes ... I'm here.

Mother ...

I ended my day by nearest pain.

I just could not wait for you.

J'espre my father died a hero.

If still alive, he has forgotten me.

Come!

Follow me.

also what the living tree, around

which we built our world.

If he is alive ... why did not he return?

I know your father. He is alive.

The day your father is gone,

I promised him that if he had not come

back when you were a man ...
