This issue will tell you a very touching and wonderful Greek myth. From the Italian film Ulysses, adapted from Homer's epic Odyssey in 1954.
A long time ago, on the island of Itaca, Greece, there was a beautiful and elegant queen named Penelope. Since Penelope's husband went to attack Troy, there has been no news for a long time. People have rumored that her husband Ulysses was cursed by the sea god and had already been buried at the bottom of the sea after attacking Troy. Therefore, many people who covet the beauty of Queen Penelope came to Itaca to propose to her first. But Queen Penelope and her husband Ulysses had a very deep relationship. She still believed that her husband was still alive and would definitely come back. Therefore, I hate these rogue suitors very much.
But because her husband was out, there were only elderly, weak, women and children in the kingdom at this moment, so she did not dare to offend these suitors in order to prevent them from causing a murder. So she swore to the suitor that after she had weaved a tapestry, she would choose one of them to marry him.
Of course, this is just a delaying strategy. Penelope weaves tapestries during the day and then secretly dismantle them at night. Therefore, the tapestries have not been well-woven for several years, so the suitors naturally complained. Pelognepe's young son Telemacos almost wanted to fight them, but in the end he had to give up because of his weak power. The son then wanted to go out to find his father, but the queen was afraid of danger and advised him to wait for his father again, and she believed that the king would definitely return.
Episode 0 When the queen and the prince were waiting for the king to return at home, our male protagonist, King Ulysses, was out of a shipwreck.
by chance drifted to an island called Saliya near Itakaa, which is the territory of the Huai Akaya Kingdom. Ulysses was finally rescued by the kingdom's princess Nausica. But at this time Ulysses had lost all his memories and even had forgotten his name. Fortunately, the princess Nausica and the king sympathized with him, so they left him in the kingdom.
At one time, Kong Wu's powerful Ulysses defeated the wrestling masters of the kingdom without any trouble. Princess Nausica also fell in love with this brave and powerful stranger at this time, and the king happily agreed to the marriage between them.
So soon after, Princess Nausica was dressed up and happily prepared for her and Ulysses' wedding. But at this moment, Ulysses suddenly found his memory bit by bit.
It turned out that just a few years ago, Ulysses led the Greek coalition to use a Trojan strategy to break through the city of Trojan. Afterwards, the Greeks burned, killed and robbed the city, and even destroyed the temple of the sea god Nipton. At this time, the princess of Troy and the prophet Kassandra told Ulysses the oracle. It is said that his barbaric behavior has angered the sea god, and his future life will never be peaceful and he will eventually be buried at the bottom of the sea. Not long after, Ulysses returned to his hometown by boat and encountered unprecedented storm waves. In the end, Ulysses had to throw all the gold, silver and treasures he had stolen into the sea before he escaped safely. Ulysses later docked the boat on a deserted island to replenish fresh water and food.
As a result, many goats and other supplies were found in a cave on the island. Everyone was overjoyed to see this and quickly made a fire and cooked. Let’s talk about it after a full meal. Just as everyone was eating and drinking, a huge cyclops with only one eye appeared in front of everyone in shock. The giant was very angry when they saw that they actually stole their own food and ate a Greek without saying a word. But after eating, Baba said that the Greeks were so unpalatable. While everyone was frightened and dazed, Ulysses had a plan. He gave the wine he had just made to the giant to taste. After tasting it, the giant felt very delicious, so he wanted to drink more. Ulysses then said they needed to pick grapes outside to continue brewing. But the giant was not stupid, and said I would go to pick glucose in person. Before leaving, I sealed the hole with a huge stone.Not long after, the giant rushed back with a large basket of grapes, and Ulysses and everyone quickly made wine for the giant to drink. As a result, the giant became drunk soon, so Ulysses blinded the giant's one-eye with the giant's mace. As a result, the giant got angry and pissed off, and finally knocked the hole open. Ulysses and everyone took the opportunity to bring supplies to Tao Zhiyaoyao. Later, Ulysses' ship sailed into the famous Siren's waters. Ulysses then made everyone block their ears, lowered their heads and rowed, not watching or listening to anything. But Ulysses felt that he had only heard of Seren's songs in the legend, and had never heard them with his own ears. So he decided to take the risk of listening to the wonderful singing, so Ulysses asked him to tie him to the mast and told his men not to listen to him no matter what order he issued next, but just row forward. After a while, the Siren's strange and psychedelic singing came into Ulysses' ears. Ulysses was indeed fascinated by the Siren and gave many self-destructive orders one after another, but fortunately no one paid attention to him. In this way, Ulysses successfully sailed out of the Siren's waters and continued to sail towards his home. Not long after, near a place called Aiyu Island, everyone found that no matter how their boat rowed, it could only approach the island. Ulysses then stopped the boat and went to the island to find out. It turned out that all this was done by a witchcraft goddess named Sessy on the island. This goddess not only looks like Ulysses's wife Penelope, but also has a very unique hobby. It is to turn the crew sailing here into animals and stay on the island to accompany her because she is too lonely. Later, in order to keep Ulysses, the goddess turned the other crew members into pigs. However, Ulysses insisted on going home, and the goddess did not force herself to stay, so she changed them back. But at this moment, there is no wind on the sea and it is impossible to sail. The goddess suggested that Ulysses set sail before sunset. Ulysses felt that the goddess was not really bad, she was just too lonely. So I decided to stay and spend half a day with the goddess, but the half day was very long. It was not until the others came to urge Ulysses to board the boat and set sail that he learned that half a day in the cave had passed outside. But at this moment, Ulysses was already a little reluctant to leave in the goddess's gentle country. Everyone left angrily, but the goddess reminded them that the sea god was angry at this moment, and that the ship would be destroyed and the people would die when sailing. Everyone did not obey the goddess' dissuasion, but they all died in the fish's belly. Ulysses then woke up and remembered his wife and children at home, so he decided to return to his hometown even if he was a small boat. The goddess kept keeping him and staying with him, and promised to give him the power of God to have an immortal body. Ulysses had no interest in this and said that men should sacrifice themselves for honor and family to be considered a true hero. The goddess said that you have never died and did not understand what death means at all, so she summoned the souls of the three heroes who died in the battlefield to show up and say that they were heard. The three are Agamemnon, Ajax and Achilles. These heroes who were once awesome now told Ulysses that if they were given another chance to choose, they would rather live like dogs than die gloriously. Just when Ulysses's three views were about to be destroyed by the souls of the three heroes, what the goddess expected was that Ulysses's dead mother's soul also appeared here. The goddess quickly said to her, why are you here too? I did not call you. It was too late, and the mother warned Ulysses, "Go home quickly, your wife and children are at home eagerly looking forward to your return soon." Ulysses woke up like a dream and made up his last determination to return home no matter what. Seeing this, the goddess had no choice but to let him go.
At this time, Ulysses finally woke up from the long memories. Princess Nausica and the King are waiting for him to attend the wedding at this moment. Ulysses then explained his life experience to them and asked the king to prepare a ship for him and let him return to his hometown. Princess Nausica and the King were very surprised after hearing this, but seeing that he was determined, he had to bear the pain and let him go home to reunite with his family.Ulysses finally said to Princess Nausica with apologies, "In this cruel world, you made me understand that kindness and love still exist. Please forgive me for only taking away a single tear from you." After
, Ulysses returned to his kingdom Itaka. At this time, the rogue proposalers had already noticed the secret of Queen Penelope deliberately not weaving tapestries. So Queen Penelope had to choose a suitable person to marry him immediately. After Ulysses returned, in order not to attract the attention of those people, he pretended to be a beggar. And successfully mixed into the inner room to meet his wife Penelope. Ulysses claimed to be a follower of her husband and asked her to announce in public tomorrow who could pull Ulysses' bow and shoot through twelve axes holes, and then marry him. Penelope did not recognize that this person was his husband, but he still followed his advice. But his son and the dog at home recognized him. But Ulysses told his son not to preach, so that they could catch them off guard.
So the next day, Penelope announced in public whoever could shoot through the holes of twelve axes.
As a result, these wine bags could not even fit the bow string, and Ulysses stood up and shot arrows with a bow and arrow, and pierced the twelve axe holes with one arrow. At this moment, someone finally shouted that this person was Ulysses. Ulysses had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately blocked the door and closed the door and beat the dog, so he didn't even want to run away. I thought to myself that you guys want to cuckold me, and I don’t know who I am. The backstage of this master is the famous goddess Athena. In the end, Ulysses and his son Telemacos worked together to kill the rogue suitors. At the end of the movie, King Ulysses of Itaka and Queen Penelope finally reunited after many years. The movie ends here.
