00:00How can men find a war but not find their way home?
00:04Some war becomes home.
00:12Our king Odysseus, the smartest of all the heroes.
00:18He led us for ten years in the Trojan War,
00:21before his brilliant plan to build the Great Horse.
00:25The Trojans thought it was a gift and took it behind their walls.
00:29Then, out poured our soldiers.
00:33Odysseus led us to victory.
00:37People love stories.
00:39You were there?
00:42I am Odysseus' wife.
00:44Odysseus is dead.
00:45Not to me.
00:46There is no king.
00:47He sailed to Trojan years ago.
00:49Took the best men with him.
00:51All year suitors have been turning up,
00:53waiting for his widow to choose a new husband to be king.
00:56Scoundrels, they're just here for your wealth.
01:00Look at this island.
01:02The wasteland.
01:03The dens of thugs terrifying the people.
01:06They need me alive.
01:07At least until I choose my husband.
01:11Mother, we can't live with those savages anymore.
01:14I will choose who, when I finish my wedding cloak.
01:18No one's making a fool of you.
01:20Of us all.
01:24I know who you are.
01:25A tramp!
01:27If I were free, I'd fight for what was mine.
01:29I'd fight for my people.
01:30What will the people say when they see I have returned alone?
01:36That I led all their men to their deaths?
01:40This land is ruined.
01:43I sacrificed it.
01:45For him.
01:47I have a proposal for you.
01:49A hunting party.
01:51Where is he?
01:54Who are you?
01:56Your waiting is over.
01:59The one amongst you who can string the bow and shoot the arrow through the axes.
02:04That man will be my husband.
02:09Close the gates.
02:11How can men find a war but not find their way home?
02:15Some war becomes home.
02:17Give the man the bow.
02:21Give the man the bow.
