Odysseus blames the gods for closing his eyelids in sleep and allowing Eurylochus to give lousy advice of killing the cattle. Because Tiresias and Circe gave Odysseus strict instructions to shun the island of the warmth-giving Sun, he tried to prevent his crew from going to the island. However, Eurylochus thinks they need a rest on the island. Though the crews swear a great oath not to harm the cattle, because they are kept too long on the island and suffer the hunger, they decide to eat the cattle. I think this is not the fault of the gods. If Odysseus can accurately tell the prophecies to his crew, and explain his concerns, the crew can trust Odysseus more and prevent this disaster. Odysseus, though acts like a guard to prevent his crews’ misdeed, cannot persuade his crews by no telling them the truth and eliminate their willingness to eating the cattle.
