ate the sun god's cattle.
Why do you think Odysseus doesn't tell his crew about the peril his men will face with Helios cattle?
There is no need. Golden cattle are not normal. The crew already know that these are sacred cattle. They already know the consequences, so telling them that they will all die and only he, Odysseus, will survive if they eat the cattle sounds arrogant and petty.
Why was Odysseus so upset when his crew ate hyperions cattle?
Odysseus was upset when his crew ate Hyperion's cattle for several reasons.His crew were under oath not to harm the cattle. Breaking an oath is a major offence in Ancient Greece and often leads to death.By eating the cattle the crew offended the sun-god Hyperion, Odysseus knew this would lead to their deaths and Odysseus would most likely have been worried that because of the crew's transgressions it would make Odysseus' desire to return home (nostos) even more unattainable because the gods would do all in their power to prevent him. (Note Odysseus HAS to return home as it is the will of Zeus for him to return home, but Poseidon wishes to delay him and Hyperion wishes to kill the crew).
Why do the crew members agree to kill Helios's cattle?
The crew members agree to kill Helios's cattle because they are starving and desperate for food. Despite being warned not to by Odysseus, they give in to their hunger and slaughter the cattle as a last resort. This angers the gods and leads to dire consequences for the crew.
Why does Odysseus initially refuse to land on the island of Helios?
he doesnt trust his crew (correctly) to not eat the cattle of the sun (Helios) but after an oath from his crew he lands on the island after which he gets another oath from them that they will not eat the cattle then they are stranded for 30 days on the island in which they run out of food the crew then eats the cattle of the sun while Odysseus is praying to the gods to give them food
Why does Helios get mad at Odysseus?
Helios became angry at Odysseus' men because they ate his cattle. It was because of that slip-up that Helios had Zeus obliterate Odysseus' crew.
