00:00Our King Odysseus, the smartest of all the heroes.
00:06He led us for ten years in the Trojan War, before his brilliant plan to build the Great Horse.
00:13The Trojans thought it was a gift and took it behind their walls.
00:18Then, out poured our soldiers.
00:21Odysseus led us to victory.
00:25People love stories.
00:27You were there?
00:30I am Odysseus' wife.
00:32Odysseus is dead.
00:33Not to me.
00:34There is no king. He sailed the Troy years ago.
00:37Took the best men with him.
00:39All year, suitors have been turning up, waiting for his widow to choose a new husband to be king.
00:44Scoundrels. They're just here for your wealth.
00:48Look at this island. A wasteland.
00:51Gangs of thugs terrifying the people.
00:54They need me alive, at least until I choose my husband.
01:00Mother, we can't live with those savages anymore.
01:03I will choose soon, when I finish my wedding cloak.
01:07No one's making a fool of you, of us all.
01:12I know who you are.
01:14A tramp.
01:15If I were free, I'd fight for what was mine. I'd fight for my people.
01:21What will the people say when they see I have returned alone?
01:24That I led all their men to their deaths.
01:28This land is ruined.
01:31I sacrificed it for him.
01:35I have a proposal for you.
01:37A hunting party.
01:39Where is he?
01:42Who are you?
01:44Your waiting is over.
01:47The one amongst you who can string the bow and shoot the arrow through the axes, that man will be my husband.
01:57Close the gates.
01:59How can men find a war but not find their way home?
02:03Some war becomes home.
02:08Give the man the bow.
02:27THE END
