La odisea (1976–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
You see me dressed as a Greek,
because The Jugglers are going
to tell the adventures of Ulysses.
A legend of ancient Greece.
The poet Homer told it in
a poem called the Odyssey.
In it he narrates the adventures
of Ulysses, king of Ithaca.
After winning the Trojan War,
he spent long years lost
on the Mediterranean Sea,
...from island to island,
from storm to storm.
Until at the end, he could return
to his beloved homeland of Ithaca.
The Jugglers are going to tell you all,
with sticks that can be lances or swords.
Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta.
Well, as I was saying,
we're going to tell you all,
with wardrobes, tables, chairs,
which can be islands, horses or boats.
And with this stuff, we will relive
the adventures of the great man
of old, called Ulysses. Homer's poem...
Hey, what you doing?
Homer, the author, the blind poet.
Tell me, muse, the adventures
of the man, Ulysses of great wit.
After destroying sacred Troy,
he wandering lost for many years.
He saw the cities, he knew
the customs of many men.
And at sea, he suffered endless
and great calamities.
The fertile island of Ithaca,
with its splendid palace
in the middle of the Mediterranean.
I am Ulysses, known among all men
for my tricks and ruses.
The most glorious of the Greeks!
I never managed to find anything to me
so pleasant and sweet as my homeland.
He is the king and I, Penelope, the queen.
The gentle and faithful Penelope.
I am Telemachus.
Our son!
Now, I'm just a newborn,
but later I will be much higher.
The Trojan War! The Trojan War!
Breaking news! Read all about it!
Extraordinary! Urgent meeting in
Athens of the Greek confederation.
An offense!
An insult to any of the Greek kings,
is an insult to all Greeks.
- The Trojans have abducted Helen.
- Oh, this cannot be.
They took her to Troy.
I ask permission to speak.
All against Troy!
Let's go rescue the beautiful Helen!
I'm going! I'm going!
Greeks, let's fight. Greeks, let's die.
Greeks, let's fight. Greeks, let's die.
Greeks, let's fight. Greeks, let's die.
First, we send an ambassador to Ithaca,
...that Ulysses helps us.
Let's go! Yes, go!
Lord, the ambassador of the
Greek confederation has arrived.
My Ulysses has gone mad.
Mrs. Ulysses, I'm sorry.
- Poor baby. What is your name, dear?
- Telemachus.
Poor boy. And his father is crazy.
He is not crazy, he said to mama,
...that he doesn?t want
to go to the Trojan war.
Sir! I declare you completely sane.
And I remind you of the commitment
you have to the Greek confederation,
...to fight together with the
other Greek kings and princes,
...until the city of Troy is captured.
To Troy!
So long! So long!
He is coming! He is coming!
Hector! Hector!
He is coming! He is coming!
Hector! Hector!
My husband! My husband!
We have been fighting for ten years.
And I'm...
fed up with this war!
Laertes!
Either we get into Troy
or we die in the attempt.
Greeks, are you tired?
I... I don't.
I... I don't.
Greeks, let's go and fight.
Greeks, let's go and die.
Greek courage does not fail!
Greeks, let's go and fight.
Greeks, let's go and die.
WE ARE SICK OF WAR
ENOUGH
Ulysses proposes an ingenious plan,
...TO build a big horse, empty inside,
...where we hide the
bravest Greek warriors.
Weapons!
The rest of the army pretends
to withdraw their ships.
The horse was standing on the sand.
You're stepping...
- Don't push. - Move that hand.
- That elbow.
- I have to pee.
- You have to hold it.
You look like kids.
I hear footsteps, someone approaches.
Greek brothers. Hear me!
In dreams, I knew that you
are hiding in this horse.
- That you are in there.
- It's Helena, my wife. Get out!
I beg you leave, to not
bring further death to Troy.
Menelaus, husband of mine, have pity.
Nestor, King Agamemnon.
Helen.
- Cunning Ulysses!
- Beautiful Helen.
Have pity on the Trojans! I have
not told anyone that you are here.
I know you hear me, that
you do not want to answer.
But I cannot betray you.
Poor city of Troy!
Now I know that tomorrow
you will be destroyed.
The Greeks!
The Greeks!
The Greeks are gone, they have broken camp.
- We're saved!
- Good!
They have returned to
their ships and gone home.
- We are free!
- Good!
Look, a horse on the beach.
Surely it's a gift from the gods.
- Long live the Gods!
- Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
Careful, Trojans, it could
be a trap of the Greeks.
- Yes Yes Yes.
- No no no.
Stop it, fools! Do you not see
that it is a gift of the Gods.
- Yes.
- No.
- To see if it contains any evil,
saw it in half. - No.
Brutus! No distrust of our luck.
- Hear, hear.
- We're saved! - Hurrah!
Let's break the walls, as if
to receive a victorious athlete.
You're right, pon pon pon.
Bring this divine horse into the city.
To donate it in memory of our victory!
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
Let the strongest warriors break the walls.
Good! Good! Good!
They're making me dizzy.
- Menelaus, I'm getting dizzy.
- Ulysses, don't step on me.
- Hey, Agamemnon, what a jerk.
- It's like a merry-go-round.
Greeks, the Greeks.
Asturias, beloved country,
Asturias of my...
What a horn I carry.
You look like Ulysses.
Sluts and scoundrels lie down!
And so the city was sacked
with blood and fire.
And the Greeks acclaimed Ulysses,
the destroyer of Troy.
Yes, that was it, we had won,
and happy and victorious,
...and with a rich booty,
we set out to return to Ithaca.
And happy and victorious,
we got ready to go out to sea
...to return to Ithaca,
to return to our fathers,
...with our women and our children.
