plunder we took, and we enslaved the women,
to make division, equal shares to all—
but on the spot i told them: 'back, and quickly!
out to sea again! ' my men were mutinous,

butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,
feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running
to call to arms the main force of cicones.

d. the men continued their acts of greed despite odysseus’s commands to stop and return to the ship, and the fugitives of cicones ran inland to fetch .
