Question

When Odysseus men kills Helios cattle the gods cause a storm that wrecks their ship as a punishment. True or false

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

“Odysseus made his men promise not to harm the cattle, but, after being trapped by a storm for a month, their supplies dwindled and the men grew hungry. When Odysseus fell asleep, his men left the ship to slaughter the sacred cattle. This act deeply angered Helios, who demanded punishment. After a few days, Zeus sent a fierce storm that killed everyone aboard except for Odysseus. The hero clung to a raft until washing ashore on Calypso's island.”
