What advice was Odysseus given regarding Helios?

Odysseus was told not to harm Helios' cattle on the island of Thrinacia, as they were sacred to the god. Disobeying this warning would bring about severe consequences for Odysseus and his crew, as it did when they slaughtered the cattle out of hunger and faced the wrath of Helios.


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?

They come to Helios' island. They agree to Odysseus' demand that they not eat the sacred cattle. After some days they are starving. Finally, when Odysseus is asleep, the mutinous Eurylokhos pleads with them to slaughter and eat some of the cattle.
