THE ODYSSEY
based on Homer's epic poem
2
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,880
EPISODE EIGHT
3
00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:26,480
Come on, each of you in his turn,
gentlemen...
4
00:06:27,330 --> 00:06:29,200
...starting with you, Leodes
5
00:06:30,260 --> 00:06:34,130
(Leodes was the only one to disapprove
the arrogance of other lords...)
6
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,640
(...of course, he also coveted
the queen's hand...)
7
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,600
(...but he loved Penelope, and prayed
that one day she will follow him...)
8
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,040
(...and give him descendants
since Odysseus vanished forever...)
9
00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:52,660
My veil!
10
00:06:54,930 --> 00:06:59,950
(Testing the bow,
Leodes soon grew tired...)
11
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,800
(...his hands were moist
and his muscles got limp ...).
12
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,460
(...he would have to find
some other Greek lady...)
13
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:10,130
(...to make his bridal offerings...)
14
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,600
(...he did not know
Odysseus would seal his fate...)
15
00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:28,930
This bow shall take so many lives!
16
00:07:29,770 --> 00:07:32,930
Better to die, than missing
your purpose in life!
17
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,110
Better to die!
18
00:07:35,150 --> 00:07:38,400
You think no one can bend this bow
just because you failed?
19
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:41,950
You were not born to be an archer...
20
00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:44,750
...but others will have tighter muscles.
21
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,440
Your turn!
22
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,480
Come on!
23
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,620
If you help me do justice,
you will live here as my own sons.
24
00:08:40,970 --> 00:08:44,000
Tell the women to stay
in their rooms, so they can hear...
25
00:08:44,130 --> 00:08:47,240
...you Eumaeus and Philoetius
lock the gates to the hall...
26
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,240
...so none of the lords can escape.
27
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,840
(Every lord tried and failed,
to draw the king of Ithaca's bow...)
28
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,130
(...Athena stopped them all...)
29
00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:22,530
Now comes Eurymachus.
He tries and persists, to no avail.
30
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,310
...he doesn't know either
the bow is under a spell.
31
00:09:31,550 --> 00:09:35,860
It's all over, Eurymachus.
These lame muscles leave you no chance.
32
00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:39,730
Alright, I am out, but how will you do?
Just you try, Antinous.
33
00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:43,950
My friends, it's getting late. Tomorrow,
we celebrate Apollo the archer...
34
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:45,950
...let us delay the joust to tomorrow.
35
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,150
Noble lords, please let me try once too.
36
00:09:52,970 --> 00:09:56,310
Tomorrow, Apollo will chose among you
whom he pleases...
37
00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:59,820
...but for today,
give me a chance to stretch the string...
38
00:09:59,860 --> 00:10:02,350
...to test what remains of my strength.
39
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,240
Are you out of your mind?
40
00:10:05,950 --> 00:10:09,110
Such a funny request!
Who do you think you are?
41
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,020
If by miracle, you succeed,
you would not get away alive.
42
00:10:13,330 --> 00:10:15,460
Why threaten him, Antinous?
43
00:10:15,550 --> 00:10:18,750
Do you suppose the stranger wins
and makes me his wife?
44
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,710
- It is impossible, my queen!
- So why not let him try?
45
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,280
You ask us why!
Think what people would say...
46
00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:31,950
...if the beggar achieves
what the lord has failed!
47
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,640
- Eumaeus!
Bring the bow to our guest!
48
00:10:36,660 --> 00:10:39,420
The lords may resume tomorrow.
49
00:10:39,420 --> 00:10:42,840
Until then, I am still in command.
50
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,910
The old man grasps the bow,
proving it all over...
51
00:11:17,950 --> 00:11:20,620
...warming it on the flame,
one side then the other...
52
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:23,770
...seeing whether years
had not hurt the horns...
53
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,460
...this man fancies bows and arrows...
54
00:11:27,460 --> 00:11:29,770
...he must have such a tool at home...
55
00:11:29,860 --> 00:11:34,660
I tell you, haughty lords,
he is likely to string this bow...
56
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,680
...like I string the peg of my lyre ...
57
00:11:53,820 --> 00:11:56,880
...his dismal hands stretch
the weapon's string...
58
00:11:56,930 --> 00:11:59,770
...the beggar is about to win
with ease, like a game...
59
00:11:59,770 --> 00:12:03,950
...and now the string sings,
like the twitter of a swallow.
60
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:50,350
He went mad!
61
00:12:53,770 --> 00:12:55,770
You dogs!
62
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,200
You believed that
I would never come back from Troy?
63
00:12:59,330 --> 00:13:02,170
You wasted my substance,
wooed my wife...
64
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,020
...fearing neither the wrath of Gods
nor the blame of men!
65
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:09,910
Time has come for you to die!
66
00:13:10,350 --> 00:13:13,600
Telemachus!
Expect no mercy from me!
67
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,460
None of you shall come out alive!
68
00:13:19,460 --> 00:13:22,660
The bell has tolled
for revenge and for dread.
69
00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:25,910
Like terrified sheep...
70
00:13:26,130 --> 00:13:29,200
...they look around to flee
and escape their death...
71
00:13:30,930 --> 00:13:34,530
...but the gates are locked
...and I am frightened too!
72
00:13:41,510 --> 00:13:45,820
If you really are good king Odysseus,
then your anger is just...
73
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,680
...but the causer lies here
for all his evil deeds...
74
00:13:49,950 --> 00:13:53,060
...Antinous was responsible
for scheming this wedding!
75
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,480
He wanted power over Ithaca
after killing your son.
76
00:13:57,110 --> 00:14:00,000
...but we will pay you in full
for all we ate and drunk...
77
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,200
- Repay me, Eurymachus?
- Each one shall pay a fine...
78
00:14:03,330 --> 00:14:07,150
...worth twenty oxen,
bronze, gold, all you say Odysseus...
79
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,970
Your offer is worthless,
what I claim is your life, Eurymachus!
80
00:14:10,970 --> 00:14:12,970
I claim all your lives!
81
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,330
You will not get out,
Odysseus ordered it!
82
00:14:37,420 --> 00:14:42,350
Stay, no one will escape!
Back! Stop! Back!
83
00:14:42,350 --> 00:14:46,130
You betrayed the master with the usurpers!
84
00:14:48,170 --> 00:14:53,280
You shameless bitches, your time is out!
The king will not spare you!
85
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:06,570
Open the gates! Let us out!
86
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,080
Open the gates!
87
00:15:13,550 --> 00:15:15,550
Open the gates!
88
00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:28,310
I will kill you all!
89
00:15:32,930 --> 00:15:36,800
Will you show up? Come!
90
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,970
This was your last arrow Odysseus, stop!
91
00:16:06,570 --> 00:16:09,020
Catch this!
92
00:17:01,910 --> 00:17:03,910
All are crying...
93
00:17:06,170 --> 00:17:11,860
No shelter, nor salvation to the suitors.
Athena is merciless...
94
00:17:11,910 --> 00:17:17,200
...they fight no longer, they just run all
around like hens scared of thunder...
95
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:23,380
...as eagles descend in circles,
down on their petrified preys...
96
00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:32,880
Silence for all of you!
97
00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:43,150
Come forward!
98
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,400
Zeus!
99
00:18:09,770 --> 00:18:12,930
(A bride cried over her dying groom...)
100
00:18:13,020 --> 00:18:17,600
(...a bride cried on her knees,
despair tearing her heart apart...)
101
00:18:18,570 --> 00:18:23,200
(...and Odysseus stopped,
stunned by his own revenge.)
102
00:18:26,570 --> 00:18:28,880
Stop, Telemachus! Enough!
103
00:18:29,020 --> 00:18:31,640
(Next to him was Mentor,
his father's friend)
104
00:18:32,350 --> 00:18:38,130
Where are the strength and courage
you displayed when fighting for Helen?
105
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,930
...and that wasn't his father's friend,
but Athena taking Mentor's shape
106
00:18:42,930 --> 00:18:46,620
- What are you doing, when
taking back your home? Weeping?
107
00:18:46,970 --> 00:18:49,680
You must be strong, tough!
108
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,950
...I will be inflexible...
109
00:18:59,550 --> 00:19:01,550
...ruthless!
110
00:19:01,550 --> 00:19:06,750
Eumaeus, Philoetius! Find them!
We have to kill them all!
111
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,640
- How many times had the Gods
warned you...
112
00:19:27,730 --> 00:19:31,860
...to honor loyalty and dignity of men.
113
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,130
You understood too late
it was dangerous to ignore.
114
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,510
Blind and deaf,
they claim Gods are unfair...
115
00:19:39,510 --> 00:19:42,930
...while only they are to blame,
they all pay back their crimes...
116
00:19:43,460 --> 00:19:47,110
...and fate is cruel
to those who sinned for years.
117
00:19:47,110 --> 00:19:49,910
You who saw the slaughter,
do not fear to be doomed...
118
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,640
...those who never betrayed
know that justice can be reckless...
119
00:19:53,770 --> 00:19:56,040
...and its clean eyes
can be eclipsed by blood.
120
00:19:56,310 --> 00:20:01,060
Now all is fulfilled,
the Gods gave their judgement.
121
00:20:02,130 --> 00:20:04,480
All is fulfilled.
122
00:21:00,530 --> 00:21:02,530
Euryclea, open!
123
00:21:07,460 --> 00:21:09,460
Open the gates!
124
00:21:09,910 --> 00:21:12,970
(Odysseus looked around
in the vast hall...)
125
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:16,970
(...to see who escaped the slaughter...)
126
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,020
(...but all he saw were lifeless bodies,
bathed in blood...)
127
00:21:23,020 --> 00:21:28,970
(...like fish thrown
by seamen on the shore...)
128
00:21:34,570 --> 00:21:37,910
No! Not him! Spare the poet!
129
00:21:39,730 --> 00:21:44,710
My eyes saw your revenge.
My song will tell it forever.
130
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,370
You can kill me now,
but you will be sorry.
131
00:21:50,530 --> 00:21:52,570
I will not kill you, Phemius.
132
00:21:53,370 --> 00:21:56,570
You shall sing so that men
know good deeds from evil ones...
133
00:21:56,930 --> 00:21:59,060
Go, you are free.
134
00:22:20,620 --> 00:22:24,170
Telemachus, the first task is now over.
135
00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:28,260
We killed the foremost youth of Ithaca.
We just had to do it.
136
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,660
We must expect their fathers and brothers,
to seek revenge...
137
00:22:41,910 --> 00:22:43,820
...let's save time. It will be rough.
138
00:22:43,860 --> 00:22:46,530
Now I'm too tired to face their anger.
139
00:22:51,950 --> 00:22:54,930
I have an idea...Telemachus!
140
00:22:55,510 --> 00:22:58,040
Gather musicians to play loud....
141
00:22:58,130 --> 00:23:00,530
...let believe Ithaca
celebrates a party...
142
00:23:00,530 --> 00:23:02,000
...and thus forgets the dead!
143
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,080
Here are the servants who
betrayed you. They confessed.
144
00:23:10,170 --> 00:23:14,000
After some vain efforts
to murder us, they tried to flee.
145
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,880
Don't you move!
146
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,970
Euryclea says only twelve
have misbehaved with the suitors...
147
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:27,550
...it's enough to punish these
as an example to the others!
148
00:23:28,577 --> 00:23:30,577
Down on your knees!
149
00:23:32,780 --> 00:23:35,910
Odysseus,
do you want to watch them die?
150
00:23:35,950 --> 00:23:41,330
Let them first cleanse the hall
and remove the dead.
151
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,930
Philoetius,
bring me sulphur to purify the air.
152
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,550
Go to Penelope and tell her
what happened. Wait!
153
00:23:52,530 --> 00:23:55,280
First light me a fire, Eumaeus.
154
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:03,680
Dear child, your husband has returned.
Odysseus has returned!
155
00:24:41,330 --> 00:24:47,510
Haven't you heard, Penelope? I told you
that Odysseus was here, among us.
156
00:24:52,350 --> 00:24:54,350
Have I changed much?
157
00:24:59,820 --> 00:25:01,240
I will dress up.
158
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,840
Help me!
159
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:47,110
Don't be afraid, girls,
your fidelity shall be rewarded.
160
00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:04,660
Do you hear these sounds?
161
00:27:07,150 --> 00:27:08,840
I see lights up there.
162
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,840
This is a wedding tune.
The queen has chosen among the lords...
163
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,240
...she gave up waiting
for her husband's return.
164
00:27:23,820 --> 00:27:27,280
I had recognized him,
but he clapped my mouth with both hands.
165
00:27:27,330 --> 00:27:30,480
He would have taken my life,
if I had betrayed him, Penelope.
166
00:27:45,150 --> 00:27:48,930
He is a real man, a wise man
who kept his plans secret.
167
00:27:49,420 --> 00:27:52,400
...cautious and reckless,
he trusted no one.
168
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,330
No one!
169
00:28:04,530 --> 00:28:07,510
Like the sleeper, after a nightmare...
170
00:28:07,550 --> 00:28:09,600
...waking up wide-eyed in the morning...
171
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,370
...soon forgetful of dangers...
172
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,240
Get out!
173
00:29:07,110 --> 00:29:09,110
You are alive!
174
00:29:13,330 --> 00:29:15,110
You are alive, my son!
175
00:29:17,510 --> 00:29:19,910
Mother, why don't you rush into his arms?
176
00:29:25,730 --> 00:29:28,310
In the arms of a stranger, why?
177
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,730
A stranger?
What do you mean, mother?
178
00:29:35,460 --> 00:29:39,640
He is unknown to me...my son...
179
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:45,200
Yesterday, he was only a beggar!
180
00:29:46,350 --> 00:29:48,750
That's how he introduced himself...
181
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,420
...I thought I saw my husband
I thought I saw Odysseus...
182
00:29:56,260 --> 00:29:58,660
He said he was Aeton from Cnossos.
183
00:29:59,550 --> 00:30:04,080
...I saw the man whom I waited for,
patiently, for twenty years...
184
00:30:05,110 --> 00:30:07,240
...he showed me no trust...
185
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,130
...he lied, as though
I would betray him...
186
00:30:11,060 --> 00:30:13,330
...yes, to me, his own wife...
187
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,310
Why? Why?
188
00:30:25,060 --> 00:30:29,820
I kept quiet.
Odysseus's wife should be strong...
189
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:38,040
...but hiding your joy when twenty years
waiting are finally rewarded...
190
00:30:40,350 --> 00:30:43,600
...was my steadiness not obvious enough?
191
00:30:46,930 --> 00:30:48,930
You have your proof.
192
00:30:50,660 --> 00:30:54,530
But now my turn has come...
...to demand a proof.
193
00:30:55,910 --> 00:31:00,260
Between spouses are tokens
which others cannot know.
194
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,840
If he really is Odysseus...
195
00:31:08,930 --> 00:31:12,000
...he will find such a secret sign
to show me he did not forget...
196
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,930
...the years he did not doubt me.
197
00:31:17,020 --> 00:31:19,020
Have a bed ready for me, my queen.
198
00:31:21,460 --> 00:31:24,000
I am exhausted. Please order.
199
00:31:27,550 --> 00:31:29,510
My bed!
200
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,620
Prepare Odysseus's bed...
and move it here.
201
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,820
Who could move that bed, Penelope?
202
00:31:39,820 --> 00:31:42,480
I carved it myself inside an olive tree.
203
00:31:46,620 --> 00:31:50,080
My son, Telemachus, you do not know
what it means to us...
204
00:31:54,310 --> 00:31:57,950
...since childhood, your mother saw
the tree grow every year...
205
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:04,080
...she wanted me to build our bed
sparing its majestic stump.
206
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,770
...so I built the walls of the wedding
room around the tree...
207
00:32:21,020 --> 00:32:24,040
...I was young then...
208
00:32:28,260 --> 00:32:30,260
You were not born, my son.
209
00:33:07,820 --> 00:33:14,840
(As the sight of the land,
is welcome to the shipwrecked...)
210
00:33:15,550 --> 00:33:20,220
(...when Poseidon smashes his ship
with storm and waves...)
211
00:33:20,820 --> 00:33:25,330
(...even so welcome was
her husband to Penelope...)
212
00:33:32,570 --> 00:33:36,840
Odysseus, you have
yet another duty to fulfil.
213
00:33:36,970 --> 00:33:40,880
One more in Ithaca has waited for you.
Your father.
214
00:33:40,970 --> 00:33:44,880
Go to him. He retired on an old farm
with some servants...
215
00:33:44,970 --> 00:33:47,370
...and never comes to the court anymore.
Go now...
216
00:33:48,220 --> 00:33:50,220
...dusk is the right time...
217
00:33:51,510 --> 00:33:54,710
...when the old think about
those who are no more.
218
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,840
Wait for me here.
219
00:34:43,330 --> 00:34:45,330
(Anticleas's voice :)
220
00:34:45,330 --> 00:34:49,240
Your father has grown old and sad
waiting for you in vain.
221
00:34:50,170 --> 00:34:54,710
He doesn't come to town,
but dwells among the servants.
222
00:34:55,020 --> 00:35:00,170
Like a savage, he sleeps
near the fire in the winter...
223
00:35:00,780 --> 00:35:03,860
...on a heap of olive tree
leaves in the summer...
224
00:35:03,950 --> 00:35:06,880
...sighing about Odysseus,
hopeless and weak, until dark.
225
00:35:11,150 --> 00:35:13,150
Come!
226
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,040
Memories...
227
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,440
My father planted this tree...
228
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,680
How much time has passed!
229
00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:44,570
But if I had to cut it, I would.
230
00:35:52,970 --> 00:35:56,260
- There is nobody.
- I know where he is.
231
00:36:15,770 --> 00:36:18,930
- Father! -
- My son! It is truly you!
232
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,170
Get up...
- No! No!
233
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:27,240
My son...
234
00:36:28,750 --> 00:36:30,800
...you finally returned.
235
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,840
Oh father, it hurts to see you like this...
236
00:36:57,420 --> 00:37:01,600
True, I was a king before,
and now my only luxury ...
237
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,400
...are these hides to protect
my fingers from thorns.
238
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,660
But I managed to keep a privilege...
239
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:10,660
See!
240
00:37:12,220 --> 00:37:15,280
This good blade is solid bronze.
241
00:37:17,550 --> 00:37:19,640
The only left
from my former weapons...
242
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,970
...but it helped me clear the fields
from stones and cultivate.
243
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,970
I think you will have occasions
to use it even better.
244
00:37:30,710 --> 00:37:32,710
I went to the palace.
245
00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:38,040
I killed all of my wife's suitors,
and none has survived.
246
00:37:41,330 --> 00:37:46,310
The Gods exist on Olympus,
since you avenged at last, my son.
247
00:37:53,550 --> 00:37:56,480
(The servants prepared
a bath for Laertes...)
248
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,040
(...the water was carried from very far...)
249
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:12,220
(...while Telemachus, Eumaeus and
Philoetius were guarding the house...)
250
00:38:20,220 --> 00:38:23,510
Father, now you came to live
like a poor peasant.
251
00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:27,770
Yes, I live like my servants.
My bed is a heap of straw...
252
00:38:28,350 --> 00:38:31,730
...like them, I feed on olives,
cheese and a few bread crusts...
253
00:38:31,730 --> 00:38:35,460
...produced with my own hands,
working from dawn to dusk...
254
00:38:35,460 --> 00:38:40,000
...without being a slave.
I would have been at the court.
255
00:38:43,820 --> 00:38:46,130
I know what you're thinking.
256
00:38:48,350 --> 00:38:50,840
True, I shouldn't have gone.
257
00:38:51,730 --> 00:38:56,620
...I left Penelope and your son
defend themselves alone...
258
00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:01,550
...facing infamous lords eager to
take your place while you were away...
259
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:10,000
...I have not been king for so long, son,
king I am no more...
260
00:39:11,550 --> 00:39:14,620
...since the day
I trusted this island to your care.
261
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,530
Such a young king you were,
brave and strong already...
262
00:39:19,460 --> 00:39:23,460
...and cunning like a fox.
You liked power, and I did not..
263
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,130
Thus I have relinquished,
for you take my place.
264
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,640
Soon after, you left for Troy
with your warriors...
265
00:39:33,910 --> 00:39:36,350
We waited for ten years.
266
00:39:37,020 --> 00:39:41,730
Respect from the people earned
the queen years of peace...
267
00:39:41,910 --> 00:39:45,020
...her loyalty was an
asset to Telemachus...
268
00:39:45,770 --> 00:39:48,130
...many seasons went by...
269
00:39:49,460 --> 00:39:51,730
...your mother passed away,
not seeing you again...
270
00:39:51,730 --> 00:39:56,130
...and as all Ithaca's men ,
I believed myself you were lost forever...
271
00:39:56,170 --> 00:39:59,860
How could I find the strength?
272
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,080
My lord, all is prepared
for your son to see you...
273
00:40:04,170 --> 00:40:06,040
...the way he wished
on the day of his return.
274
00:40:06,130 --> 00:40:08,130
Dolios was always kind to me...
275
00:40:08,750 --> 00:40:13,020
...helping me find in this lonely
and silent retreat...
276
00:40:13,060 --> 00:40:17,820
...this quiet happiness, the Gods award me
at the evening of my life.
277
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,400
Father, you preserved your royal garment.
278
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,510
You will have to put it on
to fight one more time.
279
00:40:42,260 --> 00:40:45,420
Bad luck brought him back to our island,
out of nowhere.
280
00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:49,340
Cursed be Penelope,
who nurtured hope and delusion.
281
00:40:49,340 --> 00:40:53,820
Hope made our sons woo her!
Delusion of succcess...
282
00:40:54,570 --> 00:40:58,080
He landed at the tip of the island
next to the swineherd's home...
283
00:40:58,180 --> 00:40:59,860
...servants saw him coming...
284
00:40:59,950 --> 00:41:03,950
...and his son Telemachus landed there too
on his way back from Pylos...
285
00:41:04,310 --> 00:41:06,310
...he was certainly informed.
286
00:41:07,910 --> 00:41:10,440
Then they went to the court.
287
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,240
Odysseus was dressed in rags...
288
00:41:13,550 --> 00:41:16,260
...like a beggar, holding on to a stick...
289
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,480
...no one knew it was him, of course...
290
00:41:18,750 --> 00:41:23,600
...and our youth teased him
as any other beggar...
291
00:41:24,930 --> 00:41:30,570
...but his iron heart endured every insult,
and planned the day of doom...
292
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,310
...with Telemachus, his son,
he hid the weapons in the hall...
293
00:41:34,530 --> 00:41:38,040
Then Penelope, the hypocrite...
294
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,480
...offered the lords to marry the one
who would stretch the string of a bow...
295
00:41:43,220 --> 00:41:45,150
...that had belonged to Odysseus..
296
00:41:47,730 --> 00:41:51,730
None of the young men
could stretch the bow...
297
00:41:52,220 --> 00:41:54,440
...only Odysseus could...
298
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,130
...he stood in front of them,
looked at them with despise...
299
00:41:58,170 --> 00:42:01,460
...and shot a first arrow,
striking Antinous in the chest...
300
00:42:03,460 --> 00:42:09,370
...then, arrows flew all around
all collapsed one on top of the other...
301
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:15,600
...he slaughtered them all.
Nothing but cries and groans...
302
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,240
...the ground smoked from blood!
303
00:42:21,020 --> 00:42:23,540
He killed them all!
304
00:42:25,730 --> 00:42:28,040
Not one was spared!
305
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,350
Antinous!
306
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:43,280
My son! My beloved son!
307
00:42:47,860 --> 00:42:49,730
Antinous!
308
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:17,330
Fathers, mothers, and stunned families
will make solemn funerals.
309
00:43:17,330 --> 00:43:19,330
And then, may them forget!
310
00:43:21,550 --> 00:43:25,640
Antinous! Antinous!
311
00:43:35,910 --> 00:43:40,570
- They were young and wealthy.
- And yet they asked for more...
312
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,530
...may noble blood not fall back
on the poor and innocent...
313
00:44:02,170 --> 00:44:05,950
Father, take this blade,
it has toiled land enough.
314
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,060
We must act and take the lead.
315
00:44:10,710 --> 00:44:14,570
Better face the fathers,
before relatives come to their help.
316
00:44:15,550 --> 00:44:20,970
Today will be decided
who will be king of Ithaca.
317
00:44:21,420 --> 00:44:24,040
How much longer will
this strife last, Odysseus?
318
00:44:24,170 --> 00:44:27,730
No my son, don't get me wrong...
319
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,400
...I am not afraid, you know that.
320
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:39,200
What a joy to retrieve in battle
the flame of my distant youth!
321
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,970
What a more glorious death
could I wish for?
322
00:44:43,770 --> 00:44:47,330
But you alone did justice...
323
00:44:47,510 --> 00:44:51,420
...justice was on your side,
would it still be if you continued?
324
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,600
The Gods protected you,
now you are surrounded by silence.
325
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,040
Master, to defend the honoor of your house,
we took weapons and stroke first...
326
00:45:00,130 --> 00:45:02,130
...would it be right to spill more blood?
327
00:45:02,260 --> 00:45:05,680
...should not the fathers and brothers
take their swords instead...
328
00:45:05,820 --> 00:45:07,820
...to avenge their own?
329
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,770
Offer them honorable peace.
If they decline, then we will fight.
330
00:45:17,420 --> 00:45:21,640
Let's show ourselves lenient,
we'll avoid a useless slaughter...
331
00:45:21,770 --> 00:45:26,260
...maybe they will accept your justice,
and your rule in Ithaca!
332
00:45:27,770 --> 00:45:31,600
No! Without fight,
we shall never have peace!
333
00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:45,860
You must avenge, Ithacans.
Your murdered sons deserve it...
334
00:45:45,950 --> 00:45:50,130
...our sons killed by a wild boar,
a man without honor!
335
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:55,240
Too young he became king,
now this land is bleeding !
336
00:45:56,350 --> 00:45:58,930
He slaughtered the foremost of our youth...
337
00:45:58,930 --> 00:46:02,080
...first sacrificed in Troy,
then struck by his own hands..
338
00:46:03,150 --> 00:46:06,930
How many escaped his rage
and thirst for revenge?
339
00:46:07,730 --> 00:46:13,150
He returned, but what about our sons?
Our ships, our soldiers, our sailors?
340
00:46:13,820 --> 00:46:17,200
Gather your servants. Give them weapons.
341
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:23,540
Reach to those on other islands,
whose sons were savagely killed...
342
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,080
...just like ours!
343
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,600
We will soon have enough troops
to march against him...
344
00:46:29,770 --> 00:46:33,820
...to destroy his house, to burn his
harvests, and we will be avenged!
345
00:46:34,970 --> 00:46:37,060
(Halitherses began to speak...)
346
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:43,240
(He could see the past and the future,
and his words were wise...)
347
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:49,020
Listen to me, Ithacans!
Your weakness led to tragedy...
348
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,460
...you would hear neither me, nor Mentor,
and your sons, out of stubborn pride...
349
00:46:53,460 --> 00:46:57,060
...have committed evil, defying the Gods...
350
00:46:58,260 --> 00:46:59,900
...dishonoring the wife of a hero.
351
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,350
Let us not head for misery!
352
00:47:06,170 --> 00:47:09,330
You false prophet, misery would be
not to avenge our sons!
353
00:47:09,580 --> 00:47:13,220
Let's go, it is your duty
to make Odysseus pay for his deeds...
354
00:47:13,860 --> 00:47:16,220
You know that.
What are you waiting for?
355
00:47:16,220 --> 00:47:19,640
- He must have fled to Pylos or Sparta,
where he has mighty allies.
356
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,970
No, he is still on Ithaca, I saw him...
357
00:47:22,970 --> 00:47:26,530
...he went out to the fields
with Telemachus and two servants...
358
00:47:26,620 --> 00:47:28,800
...to the old farm
where his father dwells...
359
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,910
If this is true, let's not waste time
talking. We must attack him now!
360
00:47:34,130 --> 00:47:35,950
This is a sign from the Gods!
361
00:48:14,130 --> 00:48:16,400
(Athena said to Zeus :...)
362
00:48:18,310 --> 00:48:21,640
(Oh, son of Cronos, you supreme ruler...)
363
00:48:22,310 --> 00:48:26,530
(...do you wish to push war further
or settle peace between adversaries?)
364
00:48:28,750 --> 00:48:32,040
(Why such a question, my daughter?
Zeus answered...)
365
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,060
(Haven't you ordered yourself
that Odysseus would return?)
366
00:48:38,750 --> 00:48:41,060
(Let's give them oblivion, said Athena.)
367
00:48:42,260 --> 00:48:44,840
(Let's give them peace and oblivion,
said Zeus.)
368
00:49:19,020 --> 00:49:21,020
Stop Laertes!
369
00:49:26,530 --> 00:49:28,930
Bloodshed would be no use.
370
00:49:35,060 --> 00:49:39,680
I say this to you too,
bloodshed would be no use.
371
00:49:43,330 --> 00:49:45,820
Lets peace be among you.
372
00:49:46,620 --> 00:49:48,750
Peace on Ithaca, our island!
373
00:49:49,550 --> 00:49:51,640
Offer a fee to the offended...
374
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,110
...and live together in peace.
375
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,970
Let peace be our common wealth,
forever!
376
00:50:09,510 --> 00:50:12,130
Live in peace now...
377
00:50:50,970 --> 00:50:53,370
Let peace be upon you!
378
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,620
(Athena was watching over Penelope...)
379
00:51:22,530 --> 00:51:28,080
(She gave her a sweet slumber,
washing her face with ambrosia.)
380
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:36,220
(...she shed grace and beauty over her,
mader more noble, more majestic...)
381
00:51:36,930 --> 00:51:39,330
(...whiter than sawn ivory...)
382
00:52:48,444 --> 00:52:51,422
Oh, Odysseus...
383
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,600
Strange...
384
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,600
I feel we won't have nights
like this any more.
385
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,770
But I'm not sad though...
386
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,150
How often have I imagined
this moment...
387
00:53:35,460 --> 00:53:37,640
...when I would speak to you at last...
388
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,150
I only spoke with the Gods,
and failed to understand them...
389
00:53:42,740 --> 00:53:45,510
...whereas your love
would have made everything clear.
390
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:04,350
Every time you wish,
your will find your bed ready.
391
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:09,550
Never be afraid
to tell me what you think...
392
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:15,420
...or what a god has inspired you.
I am here now.
393
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,930
Soon I think, I'll go at sea again.
394
00:54:41,110 --> 00:54:43,060
Tiresias foretold me...
395
00:54:44,620 --> 00:54:49,910
...until I meet a people who never
saw the sea, I will not find peace...
396
00:54:52,220 --> 00:54:54,620
...a people eating no salt...
397
00:54:54,710 --> 00:54:57,860
...knowing nothing about
ships and oars...
398
00:54:59,330 --> 00:55:03,910
...then, knowledge will
come to me without effort...
399
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,930
...there, I shall stick
my oar into the ground...
400
00:55:06,930 --> 00:55:10,420
...offer sacrifices to Poseidon,
and then return...
401
00:55:10,420 --> 00:55:13,730
...my life shall ebb away gently,
once I am full of years...
402
00:55:13,820 --> 00:55:16,860
...and peace of mind,
blessed by my own people...
403
00:55:16,860 --> 00:55:19,200
...thus spoke Tiresias.
404
00:55:20,220 --> 00:55:22,660
One day, his prophecy shall come to pass.
405
00:55:27,860 --> 00:55:31,150
Our fate is in the hands of the Gods...
406
00:55:32,530 --> 00:55:34,480
...they have power on our lives...
407
00:55:35,370 --> 00:55:37,770
...and nothing can else be done...
408
00:55:38,350 --> 00:55:41,060
...but to watch and to listen...
409
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,860
...our joys and pains come from them...
410
00:55:50,130 --> 00:55:51,770
...as our life and our death.
411
00:56:01,730 --> 00:56:04,710
(After listening to the
wise words of Penelope...)
412
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:12,400
(...Athena went back to the Olympus,
where Gods are said to live eternally...)
413
00:56:13,420 --> 00:56:18,710
(...where no storm ever blows,
where no rain ever falls...)
414
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:26,840
(...where no cloud ever hides
the shimmering light of the infinite sky.)
415
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,400
