In the myth of Helios's cattle, the prophecy foretells the destruction of the cattle as a consequence of the crew's disobedience of Helios's warning not to harm them. The prophecy serves as a warning and foreshadows the tragic outcome that will occur if the crew fails to heed Helios's instructions.
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
