In "The Adventures of Ulysses: The Cattle of the Sun," Ulysses and his crew land on the island of Thrinacia, where Helios' sacred cattle graze. Despite warnings not to harm the cattle, hunger and bad luck lead the sailors to kill and eat them. This act angers Helios, resulting in a series of calamities that ultimately lead to the destruction of Ulysses' ship and the loss of his crew. Ulysses survives and continues his journey home, but faces more challenges due to the consequences of his actions on Thrinacia.
