Odysseus made his men solemnly swear not to kill either the cattle or any large flocks of sheep that they might find on Thrinacia.

After his men kill Helios' cattle, it is not explicitly said whether Odysseus partakes in eating the meat. All though he berates each man individually, he does not stop his men from killing the cattle, which they do for the next 6 days.
