sacred cattle of the Greek sun god ~Helios
The cattle of Helios do not breed. The cattle are immortal, handsome, wide-browed, and curved-horned. They are directly owned by the god Helios.
The Cattle of Helios lived on the island of Thrinacia, equated with modern day Sicily.
If Helios had notice that his cattle was gone then whoever killed his cattle would be killed by Helios. This was shown in the odessey when all of the odysseuss men dies because they ate the cattle.
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.
