	Helios
		In the earthquake of 224-223 BCE the statue broke off at the knees.
		On other places where he was worshipped, there were herds dedicated to him, such as on the island of Thrinacia (occasionally equated with Sicily).
		Here the companions of Odysseus helped themselves with the sacred animals.

		Then Circe said that after having passed Scylla 1 and Charybdis, Odysseus and his crew would come to the island of Thrinacia, which some say it is Sicily and that was first called Trinacria because of its triangular shape; but some have said that Odysseus was never in the neighbourhood of Sicily.
		In any case in Thrinacia, Circe said, they would find Helius' seven herds of cattle and seven flocks of sheep, which had fifty head in each and were shepherded by his daughters Lampetia and Phaethusa.
		But while they were still in Thrinacia, the gods, according to what Odysseus has told, visited them with portents: the skins crawled and the meat groaned, making a sound like the lowing of cattle.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 96.04.27
		As for Thrinacia, it is singled out in the proem precisely because of all Odysseus' trials and adventures it best exemplifies the poem's central theme of "men who die by their restless acts" (esp. 112 ff.).
		Nor may the sacrifice of the cattle be used to defend their behavior because it derives from the ancient myths which represent the rise of culture as an illicit sacrifice (118-119).
		Here, as in the treatment of Thrinacia, the arguments taken as a whole add up not so much to an overwhelming case as a classic case of denial: Odysseus did indeed kill Leiodes, but he was not himself, and he had no way of knowing that Leiodes was innocent, and anyway Leiodes was probably guilty.

		The narrative of Odysseus’s visit to the dead (book xi) is one of the most moving passages in the whole poem.

	Meganisi, Skorpios and Kefallonia

		Odysseus and his crew were stranded there for a month, during which time his crew slew several sacred cattle, incurring the wrath of Hyperion who then (via Zeus) sent storms to destroy their boat, with only Odysseus surviving.
		The Homeric name for the island, Thrinacia, suggests a link of three, and the three deep bays on the northeast coast of Meganisi could be linked to the three prongs of a fish spear, a "thrinax" or even a "trident".
