so badly in my house.

I am only here for one night.

what should you seem like an eternity.

Yes.

I must stop nearest the ordeal, as

my son is still alive.

Tomorrow ...

I propose a test my nearest contenders.

You're right.

I have no desire ...

but ...

here ... nearest the place ...

dearly ...

He made me promise ...

to do so.

This is the last sacrifice I can do for him.

He is alive, your Odysseus.

He is alive.

He knows ...

your grief ...

your suffering ...

and dream to take your hands ...

kissing your eyes ...

kiss your lips.

He will return to defend yourself.

You'll see ...

he will return.

If only you were right!

Good night.

Tomorrow!

I will resume my world.

Go get the spears.

Philoetios ...

Tell us, shepherd ...

- That frame your mistress?

- You will all know.

The man who reaches R the bend ...

and r send an arrow through the rings

nearest of the twelve axes ...

take its place.

What?

Strange way to choose!

It is infeasible!

My father did!

Wait!

Wait, or you will not see the winner!

For me, all you're worth.

It's not fair!

I never laid a bow! It's not fair!

One hundred goats!

- As present, Dulikhion!

- So go there, fool!

That's impossible!

- It will not make it!

- Come and help me ...

Only two trials, Eurymachus!

- You can do it!

- Go!

No, he can not.

- Go, go!

- No!

Farewell, Ulysses.

I kept my word.

And we lock up!

Quick, quick!

Hide them, hide them!

I have waited long enough! Pass

it on me, wimps!

Now look at that!

Go ahead, Antinous, show us how!

Go!

Go!

If I can not, then no man living there come!

And a dead man?

What are you doing?

Do not be stupid!

Who are you, old man?

Odysseus ...

Ulysses!

Telemachus ...

Now it is time to unleash your anger.

Wait, wait!

Wait!

We have treated your wife like a queen.

We have lived in your land,

but it can be repaired,

we ...

killed anyone.

Your crime is to have tried

to steal my world ...

The world that I built with my hands ...

with my sweat ...

- No ...

- ... and my blood.

The world I shared with a woman ...

who gave me my son ...

you will all die ...

in a bloodbath.

A bloodbath!

Spears!

We must not be slaughtered like sheep!

Mlanthe!

Open the door!

Mlanthe!

Mlanthe!

Open the door!

Father!

Prevents your mother entering the room.

When everything is purified ...

tell him that I came back.

Ulysses!

I never left.

I had to change a lot ...

Not ...

You're still the same.

You're still a liar, Ulysses!

You had not seen for twenty years ...

No, one day ...

- You've gone around the Earth.

- Yes.

Randomly out of my way, I saw

the sacred and the beautiful ...

but nothing can match the treasure

of a man ...

A treasure he holds in his hands ...

and will be hers forever.

You are my universe.
