On island Thrinakia, When Odysseus prayed to gods to show the way out after Odysseus’s team ran out of food, gods did nothing but let him fall into sleep during which his crew killed cattle that are not allowed to be killed. They are now going to receive punishment. Odysseus blamed gods for being ruthless and for making him unable to supervise his crew. In my opinion, it’s not the gods’ fault. First, it is because that the crew has low self-restriction ability. If they had resisted starving for a longer time, they would have reached home safely. The crews are adults and warriors; they ought to keep the promise themselves instead of letting Odysseus supervise every action for them. Besides, god cannot control everything. Just as Zeus “can’t” save his son Sarpedon, gods can’t stop the crew from reaching their destiny: death. Finally, Odysseus may fell into sleep just because he was too tired, as he had just passed Scylla’s and Charybdis’s cliffs. God may not manipulate Odysseus’s actions.
