When it comes to spring cleaning, it’s always nice to have a spare hand to help. Finding a real human hand is probably not what the Lopezes had in mind, but that’s exactly what this family from Florida found in their grandparents’ attic.

Even though there is cattle in the island, Odysseus has been warned to not allow his men to kill and eat it, since this cattle is sacred. However, the men are only capable of upholding their morals and respecting the order to not kill the cattle while they are not suffering. As long as they have food and wine, the cattle is safe. But, once they have consumed their provisions, they forget about their morals and the warning, kill the cattle, and end up dead as a punishment from the gods.</u>
