"You’re a hard man, Odysseus. Your fighting spirit’s
stronger than ours, your stamina never fails.
You must be made of iron head to foot. Look,
your crew’s half-dead with labor, starved for sleep,
and you forbid us to set foot on land, this island here,
washed by the waves, where we might catch a decent meal again."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 12, lines 302-307. Odysseus’ second-in-command Eurylochus is a disloyal troublemaker and has "mutiny on his mind" in making this speech. He persuades Odysseus to put to shore for rest and a "decent meal" on god Helios’ island of the Sun. This is despite warnings by Tiresias and Circe to Odysseus that "the worst disaster" will befall them if they harm the sun god’s sheep and cattle.
