52:59 Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer. but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly! Out to sea again!'
My men were mutinous, fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle, feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running to call to arms the main force of Cicones. How does this excerpt prove that Odysseus’s men caused their own problems? by describing their neglect of orders by explaining their military strategy by showing their physical weaknesses by illustrating their cruelty to one another
