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).
