Troy the Odyssey Page #3

such a thing?

It cannot harm us

as long as we have

this Trojan priestess

as our shield!

[rumbling]

You cannot have me

by your side forever, Greek.

The Kraken will follow

for all eternity...

until you and

your kingdom are dead!

Quiet, Trojan witch!

Forward, Eurylochus!

As fast as the wind

will take us!

Let us leave this place!

- Drink up, men.

- The war is over,

but the king does not return.

Eventually, the widower queen

will give up her delusions

and take a new husband.

Until then, best make

yourselves comfortable.

This is our kingdom now.

Queen, come and serve us,

the best remaining men!

[laughs]

To a new reign in Ithaca!

[cheering]

Your yearning is wasted,

for a dead king

cannot hear you.

Mindless brute.

I should toss out

the lot of you.

And toss out the support

of the most powerful

families in Ithaca?

Would you deprive

your bastard son

of both a father

and a kingdom?

Tread carefully.

You are still a guest

in my home.

When my husband returns,

he'll teach you manners.

If your husband returns.

Until then, we demand

your hospitality.

As you wish.

Oh, and you need more wine.

Our cups are running dry.

[crying]

We've been searching

these seas for months.

Still not one

recognizable landmark.

We could be completely off

this map.

Are we not heading west

towards the sun?

I steer us west,

but we go east.

I steer us north,

but we go south.

I fear there's

some magic afoot.

It's Priam's curse.

Don't talk of curses, Aesus.

Only make things worse.

Bread. King.

I'm sorry, my Lord.

That's all we got left.

How many days provisions

do we have left?

None. All that remains

is worms and maggots.

I will not eat

before my men.

If there's enough at nightfall,

I will eat then.

Have you seen any sign of

the Kraken, Old Thelonious?

- No, my Lord.

- Not since the maelstrom.

It's all gone, I think.

Let us hope.

Priestess?

- Priestess?

- Of what temple now?

You mock me with such a title.

Then what shall I call you?

I am Circe.

I'm Odysseus.

I know who you are.

Your name has been

cursed forever.

Are you going

to tie me up again?

Are you going to try to

leap over the boat again?

And where would I be

leaping to?

Troy is gone.

My people are no more.

And where is my protector,

the Kraken?

This is all I have,

a whole new world.

This boat,

and the air I breathe.

Nothing more.

Here. Eat.

Why do you offer me

such kindness?

You owe me nothing.

The war is over, Circe.

We are no longer enemies.

Eat this.

It is the last piece.

We need provisions.

Do you know these waters?

Even if I knew these waters,

why would I help you?

You destroyed my city and

stole me out to sea.
