My crew and I have reached the point of starvation. However, I insisted to my crew that we stay away from Thrinakia. My crew were at the end of the rope and decided to sail there. I warned and enforced that they do not harm the heifers there. On land, one of my ship mates, Eurylocholus, made a plea to my men. He had convinced them to knife Helios's kine. The cattle was vanquished and we set off again. Lampetia warned her father father about the mass murder of his kine. He prayed and summoned Zeus to strike my men. As Circe had warned me, I remained the last one alive at sea.
Calypso
A sea nymph who refused to let me go, and I was held there in her cave for seven agonizing years until Athena, daughter of Zeus, sent Hermes to set me free. Every day I would cry for my wife Penelope, for my heart aches without her.
