Swallow this.

Not ... It's moly ...

It has poison.

It is I who give it to you

... A god to a mortal.

No, I refuse.

Good!

But it is the only way to

counter the fate of the witch.

You do not trust me?

She knows that you get.

But now

when you drink the potion with honey,

you shall preserve human form.

This will disconcert the witch.

Frightens her a little! It will make

you an offer then ...

Take her to bed.

It does not say she is a goddess!

Only after that it will make you your men.

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!

- 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 ...

will make me forget Penelope.

Not in my lifetime ...

let alone in five days.

Poor Ulysses ...

What you think one day or one hour ...
