how do odysseus' men anger the sun god?

Question

.

Answer 1

Odysseus comes to Thrinacia, the island of the Sun. He wants to avoid it entirely, but the outspoken Eurylochus persuades him to let his beleaguered crew rest there. A storm keeps them beached for a month, and at first the crew is content to survive on its provisions in the ship. When these run out, however, Eurylochus persuades the other crew members to disobey Odysseus and slaughter the cattle of the Sun. They do so one afternoon as Odysseus sleeps; when the Sun finds out, he asks Zeus to punish Odysseus and his men. Shortly after the Achaeans set sail from Thrinacia, Zeus kicks up another storm, which destroys the ship and sends the entire crew to its death beneath the waves. As had been predicted, only Odysseus survives, and he just barely. The storm sweeps him all the way back to Charybdis, which he narrowly escapes for the second time. Afloat on the broken timbers of his ship, he eventually reaches Ogygia, Calypso’s island. Odysseus here breaks from his story, stating to the Phaeacians that he sees no reason to repeat to them his account of his experience on Ogygia.

Answer 2

On arrival to the island of Helios?, they saw the golden cattle of Apollo.
Odysseus, being forewarned by either Circe or Tiresias, told them not to touch the beasts. They already had plenty of supplies from Circe. However, the men, waited for Odysseus to fall asleep, and slaughtered a couple of cows and bul;ls, thinking that if they sacrificed to Zeus, no divine punishment would befall to them.
Odyssues woke up to the smell of roasted meat and was already too late to stop them.
Apollo, on knowing the event, beseech Zeus to punish those who tresspassed his island and ate his animals.
Athena, however, begged for the mercy of Odysseus, who did not partake the feast and that's why his entire crew was drowned while odysseus survived
