Video-The Odyssey?

It's been a while since I've read the Odyssey, but if the video is true to the poem then Tiresais tells Odysseus that he shouldn't stop on the island with the cattle of Helios, his journey will end years from now if it ends at all, death will come to him from the sea, and before he dies he will have to take an oar to a nation that doesn't know the sea, walk until someone asks him why he's carrying a winnowing fan, stick the oar in the ground make sacrifices to Poseiden then go home and sacrifice to the other gods.
