	Thrinakia is mentioned in Book 11 of [[Homer's Odyssey]], is the island home of [[character::Helios]]'s cattle, guarded by his eldest daughter, [[character::Lampetia]]. It is sometimes said to have been Sicily, since the name Thrinacia could be taken to imply a connection to the number three and Sicily has three corners. However the island is also associated with Malta. Being fictional and without any other further information it is not possible to be ~~ceratin~~ where on Sicily he would have landed but for our purposes the modern day city of Siracusa has been chosen given that Messina is thought to be the ancient land of [[place::Skylla]] and [[~~palce~~::Ogygia]] is thought to be Malta.

	It is here that [[character::Odysseus]] ~~meets~~ the [[character::~~Polyphemous~~]]~~. If Thrinakia~~ is ~~cited as~~ the ~~Island of~~ the ~~Cyclopes then it also means that~~ Odysseus ~~revisits the island near the end of his journey when more of his crew are eaten~~. ~~Did he go back? Where are the cyclopes?~~		It is here that [[character::Odysseus]] and his crew foolishly slaughter the cattle while Odysseus sleeps. It is clear that after three years he has ''lost'' if crew physically and and mentally and has virtually no authority over them. Helios asks Zeus to punish Odysseus and his men. Shortly after they set sail from Thrinacia, [[character::Zeus]] kicks up yet another storm, which destroys the ship and what is left of the mutinous crew perishes beneath the waves. As had been predicted, only Odysseus survives.
