Quote context

[...]

- Tell the servants to purify this room with fire.

- And may the revenge of the dead never overtake us.

- Yes, Father.

- His revenge has been just, Athena, but terrible.

- The Ulysses you bring back to me, my protectoress, is an angry man, forced to kill ruthlessly.

- O divine Athena, did his long road back to me have to be so bloodstained?

- My road had to be long and bloodstained. There was no other way to bring me back to you.

- Such wasted time. So many years.

- So many years of our youth squandered in the savagery of war... lost in confused wanderings and in roamings.

- I was so lonely.

- I promise you. I'll make up for it in the tranquil years that lie ahead.

- Yes, together! Ulysses!

Six months? Has it been that long? Seems like a single summer's evening.
You witch! While I slept you turned a band of heroes into swine. -It was much easier to do than you think.
Quick, get some wax and stop up the ears of all the men. Tell them not to look to the right nor to the left but to row. Row for their lives. It's the only thing that will save them. Hurry!
I no longer see myself falling in battle, or in the fury of a storm. It will take much less. A puff of cool air, a sudden chill one night.
There's a part of me that loves the familiar, the end of the journey, the harbor, the cooking fires at home. There's always the other part. That part loves the voyage, the open sea, storms, strange shapes of uncharted islands, demons, giants.
