War.

Man.

A crime.

A trick.

A trick to break the walls of Troy.

And burn it. Scream into the ground.

a gift for Athena.

Amen, God.

Respect that, Og.

Save it from the waves.

Take it to Athena's temple.

The war is over.

I love Odysseus' soul.

I love Odysseus.

Why do you entertain suitors in his
house right after night?

In this world, the man that we choose
is.

I do what I can.

I am a man.

How long?

Just have a mouth.

Break through this wall and see what
they give you and what you can find.

Where is your son?

My dad's coming back.

And where is he?

Eight years since Troy fell.

Almost 20 years since he left us. Where
is he?

We have to welcome you like we welcomed
all of you.

You call me a spectator. Today, you've
been welcome here for three years.

We've only enjoyed your hospitality.

Because your mother won't use it.

He's already married.

Stacey's dead.

What do you know about my dad?

I know he's a strange animal, a bad one.

You're the one who said the first thing.

I know he never came home.

And I did.

You're pining for a daddy you didn't
even know.

None of us can really know where our
fathers are. We don't think that much.

But I did know him.

At Ford.

We watched him hunt.

I tried to volunteer for the exhibition
at Ford. He told me to stay here.

But he's been out of here.

I'm trying to get ready for a call. Yes,
we want to know whether a person has

actually seen it.

See that, man?

We can't see much anymore, but that
doesn't stop him being travelers to

death in exchange for lies about my
father.

Too fast.

You don't need eyes to hear a hasty
combination.

Mentor, put your hands up.

Too fast.

He's as friendly as you.

the exit to your father.

Where'd he get him from?

Isn't that right here?

Ah.

Oh, boy.

Ah.

I'll take him.

For your boy?

For a hunting dog.

And if he wasn't right.

Hold still.

How bad a scar do you want?

Why do you always pluck your bow?

It's only fair.

Who warned you to pray?

To fight with honor.

You weren't fighting, you were hunting.

Hunting, nothing. Fighting with stealth.

Clever.

Clever, but your cleverness is going to
get you in trouble.

Try again.

This time, not as fast or precise. You
can't win with a perfect defense. Draw

the attack.

How?

Hesitate. Open your belly till your
opponents blade their attacks.

Did you teach my father that?

No, no, he taught me.

He said, you're not always going to be
the strongest or the fastest, so be the

smartest.

What would he do, huh?

If he came back here to find all these
suitors in his house? Doctor, I can't

even let myself imagine what he'd do to
them.

There are so many.

Cut a couple down, the others cave.

Bullies and cowards.

Most of them were old enough to go to
Troy, but when they saw Agamemnon sail,

their fathers hid them.

And you knew Agamemnon's war would take
many years and many lives.

So you made his army by lottery.

Name?

No. Name?

Yes,

by lot.

Antenna was still being volunteered.

Your boy's trying to take someone's
place.

I'm not going to let him.

He needs to stay here and take care of
his family.

You could watch for your boy, too. Of
course.

The boy didn't intend to look after me.
No, no.

But it is what's sensitive to a father's
pain.

It's also his father's.

You and your mother meant more to him
than promises of glory.

So he knew it would be years.

Did he tell my mother?

That's a question for her. Amen.

Is he ever coming back?

Hardest think so.

Never known a dog reach 20.

But he's long outlived his master.

I didn't mean it softly.

The elders decreed when I finish your
grandfather's burial shroud, it'll be

time to remarry.

Why?

Isaac, it's been pathetic being too
long.

I want security.

From what?

People from the sea.

That's a straggler's tale.

All we know is the world's a straggler's
tale. That's how we found out Troy had

fallen.

Now they all tell stories of attacks by
people from the sea.

And who are the people for this day?

No one knows, but the elders wanted the
good people there.

Prepared. Part of the greatest
civilization ever known.

Look at this great house.

Stoned with old knowledge.

At the mercy of some greedy, unwanted
guests.

The structure's nothing.

Without people's respect for its
meaning.

It's just as long.

Treat others as you would be treated.

When they abused that, they destroyed
everything.

So how could you think of marrying one
of them?

Because a long time ago, your father
asked me to.

Agamemnon is your king.

The Trojans took his brothers away.

Or she ran away with them.

Either way, the walls of Troy are said
to be impregnable.

We'll sit outside that great city and
try to draw them into battle.

And the years go by, until they make
their screws.

And you learn life without me.

Then I guess we'll give up on Helen.

This is Agamemnon's excuse to break
Troy's control of the trading routes.

He won't let it pass.

The power of the sacrifice is in the
cost to the person making it.

Is it all?

What if we ran?

Love is not a sacrifice.

Of course it is.

But I don't want you to make it. It's up
to you.

Promise me.

Promise me you'll come back.

That's what we want to do.

That's not fair.

You said only he could string this bow.

He was happy to let others try.

Bleeding, I'm dry, so you'll be forced
to choose one of them before I can claim

the throne myself.

The traveler told me Menelaus returned
years ago.

They've all returned.

All who survived.

Maybe he is dead.

And if he is, then this is my palace.

We need to know.

I have to go to Menelaus to find out the
truth.

These suitors mean a lot. You think I
don't know that?

Every night they push me to give them
the gifts they need. I'm not there on

the sea, on the road.

Come back.

You don't want me to claim the throne
myself.

You just want to keep me in my place so
that you can stay Queen of Ithaca. I've

had enough of being Queen of Ithaca
without my king. Without your king.

Or a king.

Argus! Argus!

Argus!

Argus. Sir.

He didn't do anything.

Who does he think is you?

He killed the clone.

Which one?

Both of us.

Why don't you say you're a slave? You
just got carried away. Argus is my

father's hunting dog.

Your hunting dog?

Put him in bed.

Get it out of here before he dies. Don't
touch him. He's in pain.

Okay.

Then I'll put it out as a mystery.

Leave him alone, bro!

Show some mercy.

I'll take care of it.

My father's hunting, Doc.

He's only living to see Odysseus return.

Fine. I'll put him on the dung heap out
front so I can greet his master a little

sooner.

If they know what this is instead, the
suitors will never know that. You will

never make it back alive again.

What do you want me to tell your mother?

Have you ever

told me that you have blind eyes?

Senior guys?

You haven't even asked me where we're
going yet.

Where are we going?

To find my dad.

He's alive.

I can feel it in the wind and the waves.
He's out there somewhere, wandering,

injured, lost.

I don't know.

But he's alive.

I'll let you on our number.

Why can't God speak in ways we
understand?

Who doesn't understand numbers?

The fire.

The child's smile. Good harvest.

You hide your thoughts from us.

Look.

There's no more clouds.

There's no more birds.

There's no more water.

What are you talking to?

Athena came to me again.

She's telling me to remember.

Believe.

Why? We have everything we need?

How long have I been here?

What we have here could last forever.

Remember is for gods.

Are you a god?

You want to remember, but what if
remembering destroys your happiness?

Then it wasn't real.

No. No more. But I love it.

Instead of eating the lotus, tell me
what you remember.

Troy.

We won the war.

Remember.

on this fucking beach.

Let's go home.

Remember who we leave here.

Do you have enough provisions?

We've taken enough from Troy.

Another stop or two won't kill us.

Agamemnon's rowing west on the known
provisions route. He's got more mouths

to feed.

We'll find places to land.

I'm sure it's a risk.

Let's hope Agamemnon's not long enough.

With the luck and the right winds, we'll
see some of the world.

They'll be home before Agamemnon.

How badly do you want to get home?

Get your weapons ready!

Asking why they abandoned their village
instead of welcoming us.

They thought we were the sea people. No.

We're Greeks.

From Ithaca.

Maybe you heard our victory in Troy.

We're headed west on the southerly wind.

Since if we go that way, we're going to
like things a lot.

Not a few years of war.

Come and relax.

Let's go home.

Very good.

There's a lot of it. We should leave.

They brought nothing to trade with.

Zeus is lost.

I don't know if whoever lived here has
heard of Zeus is lost, or Zeus for that

matter. Everyone's heard of Zeus is
lost.

Get the fire going.

We'll welcome the owner back.

Get away from the fire.

Rush the entrance.

Rest up.

There's a cave mouth.

Leave a gap.

Maybe.

But what?

It's long.

It'll notice.

Grab the thin end, put it in the fire.

How much rope do we have?

How big's the block?

Couple dozen, maybe.

That's too many of us.

When it comes back, Two of us have to
get out, or at least get killed.

Run low, through the flock towards the
entrance, then slip wide.

We can only grab one of them.

Right. Four of us are meant to run.

Two or two?

Less than one, man.

We ate two of us last night.

We'll warm the other two before he
sleeps.

He died helping us escape. We honor him
by escaping.

Should we reach the within?

I think we're past that.

Yeah, and that beast just went up the
side of him.

What? Well, he put his eye out. We heard
him crying his name.

That thing was a monster.

I heard it too.

Set out the beast again.

And the wind.

You know

how many times I've heard you weeping,
praying

for Dana since we left Troy?

Couldn't you have shown some mercy?

Take this.

Wear it.

Remember those who couldn't bury.

May God help those who help himself.

In that moment, every rough sea or
headwind, both crew were cursed.

But where is my crew?

If only you'd let me see my men.

If I could just talk to you. They don't
even remember me. Do I have a wife,

children, maybe a son?

How long have I been here?

A long time.

If I had a son, how old would he be now?

I don't know how to speak to a king.

Which one?

You don't know, John.

If anyone asks, we're traders from
Crete.

We'll figure out how to approach the
king.

I don't

know.

I don't miss them as much as one
particular warrior

Thank you.

We're inside.

We were in it for days.

We squeezed inside before the ship set
sail.

This is you. No one can know that we're
inside. Not even Sam.

He says we left behind.

Two tags have been found right in front
of us.

They went there with all of you? With
your father.

Who did you?

You don't like him.

When did you last see him?

Troy.

God's granted us the righteous victory.
The righteous?

The gods granted our righteous victory
but did not bless our voyages.

It took me years to get home.

We didn't. Some did and wish they
hadn't.

Tell him.

Tell him about your brother.

No. No.

No.

No. No.

No.

Where Agamemnon's her traitors. She
covers the stomachs of sepulchers in

gossip.

You're in the right place.

Anyone want to spin a story about
Odysseus?

Some say he's rich, some say poor.

Some say he perished, some say he's in
prison. What say you? In prison?

What kind of prison?

An old man like that.

Tell me what you do remember.

I became more and more convinced that I
defended Biden.

by storm after storm, all pushing us on
forward until we were truly lost.

We're here in peace.

We just need some food.

We need food.

Can't you understand that? It's just a
child.

If that's a child, what about its
parents?

you

We need to get as far away as possible.

We don't have supplies for a blind
cross.

We've lost our way.

We need to find food and get our
bearings.

Good morning.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Leave someone with the standards.

We think you should stay.

We? All of us.

Still alive.

Give me your boat.

I'll make sure we eat tonight.

No matter what you buy.

If I do what you want.

No one is going to hurt you.

My name's Eurylochus. What's your name?

Cersei. Cersei, we need food badly.

I have food.

Lots of food.

You let me?

Your weapons, your armor.

Put it out the back.

You like women?

Why do you have so much?

You never know in strangers.

But they're advertising.

So much for getting out of my life.

your weapons at the door. Enjoy the
hospitality of peace.

a farmer.

Here.

That too smells good.

That's enough for just us.

Who says it's just us?

Who else is here?

Who indeed?

Come here alone.

No.

You can only reach this spot by sea.

So, where are your shipmates?

Looking for them.

Anyone having to come this way.

So you prepared all this food?

You're questioning me?

You?

A traveler who's clearly starving, yet
hasn't got food in front of him.

Claims to be a sailor.

Where is a great warrior's owner?

This is Maul.

He's bringing the dagger into those
depths of hell.

You'd have to go up by.

Help him by the gods.

Do they grant you insights?

Truths.

Sometimes.

Would they tell you where I could find
my men?

Your men?

That's right.

They would.

Then would you tell me?

Could you get me a backer?

They moved on?

Yeah.

Leaving their rings.

I don't know who this girl is to you.
You don't put that knife down.

I brought it to find out.

Family.

Mother.

I'd like to turn my men into pigs.

I didn't turn our men into anything.

Look at them. This is who they are. Look
at them.

Faces.

Disgusting.

Primal urges that you value in battle.

They've been raped and pillaged across
the world for you.

And you think that's against our nature?
You think we only did that because you

ordered them to?

We're not true commanders.

We've been savagery naturally
disciplined.

You don't seem that deluded.

But you sent them to me here.

On my own.

A gang of filthy soldiers with empty
bellies and hot blood!

You thought they'd respect me and my
home?

Look at them!

Know your own men!

They're there, Karen.

They were.

Back to the ship.

Take all the food you can carry.

Leave the meat.

You're not going to let her live.

She's a woman.

Who gave her power?

You're God.

Pull the children into the stream.

Be ready to say what's going on.

Why leave her like this?

We got better this way.

I'm sorry if we offended you.

We can't get back without your help.

We need it on the way to the trailer.

They're too loud.

What do you mean?

Only blind Teresias can tell you how to
go home.

Teresias? In Hades.

Nobody sails into hell and comes back.

You will.

Head north, the twilight.

Let's head inland.

Until the river of fire beats the river
of ice.

There you must take a trench.

Go home.

You.

Not your men.

You'd curse them?

Not a curse.

The truth.

Your men don't want you to defy the
gods.

The gods say only you make it home.

Then I defy the gods.

Good night.

It's okay, dear.

Don't forget that he lied to everyone.

Did you have to lie to me?

I needed you to believe.

Why did you have to volunteer?

Don't you remember how I came here? I
said to pay attention to Mrs. Puss. He

didn't call.

He offered money for your family if
you'd take his place.

The Trojans don't know who he lives.

Could I never make it home?

Take this back to my father?

Tell him everything I did?

Odysseus.

You'll see the ads and stuff.

You didn't trust me with the truth.

You knew I'd die for you.

Dying meant to tell the truth. I needed
you to believe.

I died such a lie on that beach.

I know.

I was there with you.

I heard you repeat the lie with your
dying breath, winning a full war.

I was right there, intently smelling
your blood. What comfort could that give

me?

Not knowing you were beside that horn
until the dead told me.

It's it.

A lot of veterans just can't even walk
these shores.

The dead need to lament the living and
greet the newly dead.

My father was afraid to find me.

To cover you.

Fates don't cover.

They want word of the living who wronged
us.

My father had died in poverty, alone,
begging for scraps from people like

Antimus. Antimus cheated you?

That is no doubt cheating you.

How? Who then hasn't come looking after
your wife?

My wife is of no concern.

Talk to Agamemnon about homecoming.

Agamemnon's here.

You've worried me, Aunt Joy, with
respect.

Thank you.

But spare a thought for those who
didn't.

It's not always possible.

When you get home, take a sip.

Head into the unknown west till you find
land.

And there, you sacrifice and honor your
men.

Do you still have the lot?

Of course.

If you make it home, give Antinous back
his fame.

I will.

No. My misfortune was to make it home.

You're welcomed by my beautiful wife.

Babe.

made songs and learned the hardest
lesson that left a poison in her heart

years before.

A good part of her heart had gone.

She and her lover had plotted my murder
for years.

But this year, yes, my son arrested.

Did you have any of these?

My lord, how could I know?

I'm still trying to get home.

Don't make my mistake.

Don't walk in the front door expecting
callings and praise.

Come in disguise.

Take your time.

Some of what you have to do. What
prophecy is not for their ears?

Back to the ship.

Sail southwest, past the sirens.

There's dog who hits your man onto the
rock. They all die.

I won't let that happen.

I'll block their ears with wax.

Past the sirens.

You choose between the whirlpool in
Calypso and the monster in Scylla. The

whirlpool in the sea takes all of your
lives. The monster in the cliffs?

Only six.

But your determination to not sacrifice
any more lives killed all of them.

I'll do what I have to. At the end, with
salvation and new peace, they demand to

land with the sun god who raises his
cattle.

Big slaughter of all those herds.

Zeus killed them for it.

Do you see?

I'll stop them.

Why do you value these men's lives more
than those you owe many laws?

I can still save them from the gods.

but not from themselves.

Are they coming back?

Did you do something to them?

Did you do something to them?

Strangers don't come in here.

Screen or no screen, after three years
of feasting together, we're far from

screen. Are you trying to marry me or
ruin my reputation?

Melancholy can be discreet.

I'm actually here out of concern for
your reputation.

Oh? Everyone sees how hard you work.

Oh, steady progress.

But every night, you've been unraveling
that work.

You can't expect her to be loyal to a
master she never even knew.

I expect her to be loyal to me.

You will be, when you marry to me.

Slaves have no choice but to be loyal to
the future.

It's a household waiting for a master,
just as Ithaca's a kingdom waiting for a

king.

Ithaca's king is coming back.

No, he's not.

Did you know that another boy tried to
go with him to Troy?

He didn't approve of that.

They just refused to let me in.

And they couldn't have interviewed you
without him.

Why would you want to marry someone who
loves someone else?

Your loyalty, your dedication, your
inner finest quality.

I love you.

I want you to choose me. And end all
this.

You can't tell me you're not tired.

The waiting.

The uncertainty.

I'll take care of all your needs.

My queen.

And my son.

The throne is his.

He is the heir.

Unless you have a child of our own.

Where is the other kiss?

He's coming for me as his father.

Where?

He's not in Florida.

It's in the Middle East.

Should we go there?

No.

Too loud, Melantis. I told you you're a
coward.

You were drifting. No, no, no, no.

I was coming for you.

I told you that dog stayed there. Go
back to the farm. We need your papers,

Melantis.

You're no longer welcome in this palace,
old man. I hand you to my mistress.

Does she even know your name?

Now go.

To Lemarchus. I have to come back by the
temple at Pylos.

Take your leave. I might be in there.

What if he can stay and try to turn the
queen?

I don't think so.

He needs to die on that road.

He already had to find it.

Hear it!

I need everyone in this party dead.

Dead, strong, open.

Columacus and his men will be ready for
the bandits who work the road between

here and Pylos.

But if some of them took the temple from
the priests before they arrived... I'm

bringing quite a lot of proof.

His nose.

But you know him only by his nose.

And ears, too.

My father's a swineherd.

A swineherd?

That's his most loyal servant.

Odysseus left his most loyal servant
behind.

He always was the smartest.

Only one Agamemnon ever listened to.

His wife, Harder. Can I ask what
happened to your brother?

His wife betrayed him.

Murdered him.

What did she do to him?

He's done arrested.

He killed them both.

But he killed his own mother.

Revenge is harder.

You don't have to worry.

Your mother has nothing in common with
Piedemestra.

Maybe not.

But the students have convinced the
elders the time she'd be married.

Yeah. It's not a good time for an empty
throne.

There are stories of people from the
sea.

Have you even read it? Not yet, but in
tax they do seem closer.

Sparta's ready.

How about Ithaca?

She'd be able to raise an army and
defend herself.

Someone's got to take the throne.

The battle is there, not here, son.

You've run from the problem.

Left your mother at the mercy of the
suitors.

Should I hire mercenaries?

Go back and kill them all?

Murder rich and powerful guests in your
own home.

You'll be exiled.

What then?

You must evict them without violating
Zeus' law.

I have to take the throne.

I have to know that this is alive.

This has nothing to do with a father
you've never known.

You can believe in something, no matter
what happens or it is.

You need to remember.

No, I don't.

I don't need to know the truth. I'm
happy here with you.

Why are you gathering the bones of your
old ship to make a raft?

Remember your crew.

Your journey.

I heard the sound of the sirens.

Put the wax in the men's ears.

Not for me. Tie me to the mast.

Why? I want to hear the siren song.

No.

That's a bad idea.

No one's ever heard the song live.

Why, it's a good idea. I'll be the
first.

No matter how hard I plead, do not untie
me until we're well clear.

Check the men's ears.

A weak smash in for the first. Yes, sir!

What would the silence tell?

All the things you wanted to be.

Then, all the things you wish you never
wished for.

Find us under the skin we can't read.

So the delicious edge becomes
unbearable.

Tell me what you most want.

And what you most can't have.

And what you most can't have.

Is what you already have.

None of all the promises I failed to
keep.

And I told me I don't really want to go
home.

One warrior ahead!

Corrida.

A monstrous whirlpool.

It's too narrow.

Make for the whirlpool.

We can steer down the slope. We can make
enough wind to shoot out the other side.

Don't be afraid. We can do it.

You good?

If I told you, you wouldn't have chosen
this way.

And those men would still be alive. No,
we'd all be dead.

You had no right.

I had every right and every
responsibility.

The whirlpool would have destroyed the
ship and all of us. This way we live.

Two of us live.

Yes.

What else did Tyrekean tell you?

sun god's isle these men are exhausted i
want six

shipments you're all gonna die

you asked me what teresias told me he
said

you're all gonna die if you slaughter
the sun god's cattle which graze on that

island you'll all die

we'll put in we'll cook our own
provision we'll take fruit we'll get

water nothing more swear to it all of
you

me

i went to just write it

Did the crew keep their promise?

Yes.

For a long time.

But the wind never changed.

The steady onshore breeze that made it
so easy for us to land.

Made it impossible to leave.

And our provisions ran out.

the Sun God wouldn't notice.

I'm not the problem. I wanted you to
live.

Terenia told you.

Cersei told you. The gods told you.

You gods like speaking with the undead.

Who doesn't understand pain?

Or blood or death?

When you watch your men die, do you see
chance or do you see consequences?

They ran out of food.

That's the pity. My pity.

is what put us on this damn island. I
told you what would happen. Yes, you

did.

And we decided we would rather drown
than starve.

Well, now's our chance.

The wind has dropped!

The wind has dropped!

The calm was just long enough to lure us
out onto the paddy boat.

Under season's sky.

as the heart pain subsides.

Yes, you do.

Exactly what you told me would happen.

I washed up on your shore alone.

You washed up on my shore with some of
your bugs and none of your crew.

Half dead, unconscious.

For days and for weeks, I knew the lotus
would ease your awakening.

That your pain was more of the body than
the mind.

I came to love you.

How long have I been here?

I kept telling myself to stop giving it
to you. That you were strong enough to

remember. How long, Calypso? And you
were so happy. You were happy. We were

so happy for years.

Years?

I saved your life.

I rebuilt your body. I just couldn't
bring myself to rebuild your mind.

You have been happy.

Your heart was just always somewhere
else.

And your mind was bound to follow
eventually.

The lotus clouds the mind.

It's not well, but it doesn't change who
you are.

You weren't ready to go home for
whatever reason.

I am now.

And I always do you with me.

No. You were clutching something when
they found you. Your hand wouldn't open

for me.

You called out.

Nothing to see now.

Where am I?

Don't you recognize your own home?

Just welcome, you strangers.

How many are you?

Half a dozen.

Need a meal?

And why?

For the road.

Where are you headed?

We need pigs.

I'm going all the way to Pilo.

Are you a pilgrim?

You look like pilgrims.

I don't see well.

It's just a man's offer you a meal, but
these pigs aren't mine to sell.

Oh, don't worry.

We're not paying.

Give my greetings to your mother.

Tell her I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for Troy and for everything
that has happened in my life.

So I had no news of your father?

No, you had news.

Not where he is, but who he is.

And no more than that, where I hope
to...

your watchdogs, old man.

I'm burning their bodies.

Can Zeus offer you food, great stranger?

Were you attacked?

The dog saved your farmhand.

Oh, he burned his brothers first.

What happened to Ithaca?

Darkness. Zeus' laws smashed to pieces.

A kingdom without a king since my master
died.

Your master?

Odysseus.

Hero of the Trojan War.

But Odysseus is alive.

No more, no more, no more, no more, no
more, no more.

Telemachus, Telemachus, Telemachus.

Telemachus. He's in danger and I can't
help him.

There must be others in Ithaca.

Help Odysseus' son. The palace is
controlled by suitors.

No, we're still loyal to Odysseus.

What about the queen?

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know if things are the worst,
man.

She's going to be forced into marriage.
What could she do without even her son?

Yeah, right.

What's the danger to Telemachus?

Give me food for the road.

You know, they're a catch-all for the
bandits.

If I can get to Bylos before Telemachus
arrives, I can warn him.

Why are you hoping?

If I tell you, don't be angry.

I served with Odysseus at Troy. He was a
harsh taskmaster.

But fair.

Fair and worthy of following.

You loved him?

Like a son.

She's coming home.

Soon.

Bringing it all.

I'll talk.

You don't want people realizing who you
are.

Maybe we shouldn't have brought it
forward.

I'm glad we didn't. We have trouble on
the road.

We're here to make sacrifice to Athena.

And whatever hospitality you can offer
might be considered.

Of course.

Get that beggar out of here. He has a
message for me.

He might attend you.

His men are true.

His men are pretty.

I already spared one old man this week,
but he was blind.

I won't spare him.

No one's born a beggar.

We'll take this priest's robes and put
them over your armor.

Help me with his body.

We have to leave him.

No. We have to slip out.

That's not how you honor the dead.

That is how you stay alive.

He was my teacher.

There might have been a fiend in
disguise. His name was Mentor.

And when you are safe, we'll travel to
the unknown west.

And we will honor him.

These men were sent by the suitors.

There will be more of them. We need to
get on the road.

By night? Sick of his being here.

Entrance at the heart of Athena's oldest
temple.

For now, we'll honor him in flame.

I told you. I wasn't always a beggar.

You have wise eyes.

I've seen his eyes. Don't look for gods
in men.

You'll just be disappointed.

Then tell me who you are.

My name is Sinnok.

I'm an old soldier who fought under your
father at Troy.

You knew my father?

I've been taking orders from him for
longer than I care to remember.

Wait, he's alive?

He's alive.

Well, where is he?

He's close by.

He sent me ahead to assess the
situation.

My mother's not going to believe it. No,
you can't tell her.

What, nothing?

Tell her.

Tell her he decided it's time she
remarried.

He doesn't need to test my mother. How
can he doubt it? He doesn't.

But she has every reason to have
forgotten him.

Are there any loyal servants?

Well, I think he shows himself lost.

We need to gather the suitors at the
palace.

That's never a problem.

You have gifts for Menelaus?

Yeah, I have a gift.

Good.

Come back as a prince.

Call a banquet.

I'll be there.

What will you do with the banquet?

The bag.

The clearest view of a man is from
below.

How many suitors are there?

God, if all of his men are like you,
then... You don't have any men.

But it's just you?

And you.

I thought you might be celebrating.

If we have anything left to celebrate
with.

Don't worry.

My great suit is a shower of gifts to
honor your return.

I'm glad to see your face.

Glad

to

see you on your feet.

It's about time we took you back to the
palace.

Stories from the war, but no one knew
what happened to him after he left Troy.

Sorry, Mom.

Everyone in Sparta is talking about a
coming catastrophe.

An age of darkness brought on by people
from the sea violating Zeus' law.

Some stories are true. Our civilization
is collapsing.

Menelaus is concerned that we can't
raise an army with an empty throne.

So we came up with a plan.

What plan?

I've got one way to get the suitors to
leave.

It's time for you to choose.

You want me to remarry?

If you remarry, the other suitors will
leave.

And then I'm only dealing with one of
them.

I'm almost of age. I'll tell the elders
that I learned of a deceased's death in

Sparta.

Menelaus will back me up, and they'll
let me assume the throne. So you deny

your father, and I leave my home and go
live with one of these snakes. That's

your plan.

Would you have a better one?

Knock the door, set a fire, and burn the
panther.

Do you think if I wait, Mary, life goes
back to the way it was?

That world is gone.

And in this one, there's not going to be
no power but you.

Or in the end, if he returns, he'll have
to kill us.

Like he will.

If I kill them, their families will
demand revenge. I'd be exiled.

And without me, this throne would be
lost. Because all the amends are set on

it.

Empty throne?

I've been sitting on that empty throne
for 20 years!

My knowledge, my years of experience,
and that will not be compared with the

braces on your chin.

Where he met.

You're a good man.

You're my father.

I'm a beggar.

And you are the worthy.

You.

Because the darkness of victory drowns
the righteous and the legend.

It makes more of the blind vengeance of
us all.

That's the hospitality of truth.

It's the strangest of truths.

I'll just make her answer the phone.

I put one more beggar in his seat.

There you go.

Oh, you want something from me, Dan? No.

I have something.

You got something for me?

You got something for me?

Look at a filthy old plate maker like
you possibly have.

I can't train a beggar like that. It's
Jesus' law.

It's Jesus' law.

Ask.

Do you think this is a god?

Do you think this is a god in disguise?

Are you?

Are you a god?

Are you a beggar?

No.

I'm a veteran of the Trojan War.

Veteran of the Trojan War.

And what's your name, Andrew?

Sinan.

Does that name mean something to you?

Just.

I use it to honor the bravest young man
I've ever met.

Sinan?

Isn't that the shepherd's boy?

Remember that? Yeah, yeah. He wanted you
to take his place.

Where did you find that?

Where did you find that?

Thank you, everyone.

Classroom, fire is on center.

Hello, traveler.

My queen.

Lorenzo, have your clay wash the
stranger's feet.

That's not necessary.

My husband insisted we honor guests as
family.

Do you know if it is his, my husband?

Of course.

The results?

I was at Troy, ma'am.

The results probably seem silly.

They make me cry.

For what was lost.

A lot?

In the years.

Everything.

Did you know I just used it twice?

I didn't.

Was it to tell us how he dressed,
something he wore?

He wore a strange pin.

Beautiful. But out of place.

Grab it.

I'll get more water.

It was a beautiful cold bed.

A figure of Athena encircled by vines.

Did he wear it off?

He never took it off.

How is it that you made it home when
Odysseus could not?

I'm not home.

Not yet.

Why not?

It's not always an easy thing, a
homecoming.

That's the truth for Odysseus. It's for
me.

The Odysseus I knew would have found or
fought his way back to me no

matter what.

What if the Odysseus you knew lost his
way?

In a strange city, he saw a thing that
made him think the home

he knew couldn't possibly be there
anymore.

What if, when he left the Valley of the
Horde,

in a daze of sweaty celebration to
follow.

What is he knew exactly?

One man's trick to break Zeus' law
forever.

We lived in a world of palaces and
trade.

Language blind to its beauty until we
broke it.

You are the people from the sea?

Yes, my queen.

The breaking of this is lost, spreading,
like clay.

Our age is wrought, collapsing.

And maybe he couldn't bear to see the
ruins of what he'd done.

Anywhere. Least of all, his home.

So just use it a lot.

And he'll be here when you need him
most.

I've been living at Ezra Woods long
enough.

Bring the suitors at dawn.

Remove the arms from the halls. In a few
hours, one suitor will be happy, and the

rest angry, vengeful men.

Ron Straw is a man also. I know what to
set the trial, and the doors will be

locked. I'll marry whoever conceives my
challenge.

And you won't have a weapon.

Oh, I'll have a weapon.

Your mother's been to that.

Gather the servants you trust.

Lock the arms in the other storage room.

Three years.

While my husband's been gone,

you've commandeered this palace for your
feast day.

You're excuseless. You want to win my
hand in marriage.

I'm going to make you party.

Fight.

Corrupt my person.

And disrespect my home.

I will do nothing more than for a
deceased to return and see all this for

himself.

He never will be.

I stand ready to marry anyone here who
can string this

hunting bow and shoot an arrow at those
twelve axes.

And show me who you are.

You may.

Can't be done.

By you.

So why is not this his domain?

Then you do it.

I'll wait my turn.

Why don't we warm the bow and boil it?

Still hasn't been strong in years.

Queen has made her point.

We can't replace an idiot.

Some of us have always known that.

Some of us would have followed that
great man to Troy if he'd let us.

But he never came back.

So choose the best of us here.

All of us who failed your tests.

I have.

I can't kill us all.

How long did I kill you?

Go and tell someone.

I give you back your shame.

We broke the fragile bonds between men.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

for the horizon.

Chasing the escaping sun.

Why will the stories only be found?

Because phones will be all they have to
remember those of us who've been right.

Civilization will rise again.

John will break over.
