Let us visit the island with Hermes so we can explore.
Hermes and his men landed on a land inhabited by Spartans. They decided to explore the island and the caves. He also brought offerings and his reason.
When they get to cave men, they find tons of food and supplies to build a fire. Instead of just stealing it all and leaving before the Spartans came back, they decided to stay and wait for them because Hermes wanted to see them.
We should take it all and go!
No! I wish to see this cave man even if it means some of you die.
When the cave man returned to the cave, he was furious to find people. He used a bolder to block the exit and started torturing and eating some of the men. Hermes thought to talk to the cave man, but knew that they would still be trapped in the cave to die.
*Crying* No! Zeus help us!
Hermes offered the caveman the liquor that he brought with him in hopes he would drink it and fall asleep before they were all killed. Hermes says, "'caveman, try some wine. When the caveman fell asleep the men used the spear they made to stab him in the eye and blind him.
Do we all know the plan? Is everyone ready?
The next morning, the men all hid themselves underneath the sheep. When the sheep went outside for the day, the cave man held his hand over the sheep to try to make sure the men didn't escape.
My head aches so greatly, but I must make sure not to let the men out of the cave.
The men managed to sneak away without the cave man catching them. They made it back to their ship and sailed away never to return again.
