As soon as I reached our ship at the water's edge 
I took the men to task, upbraiding each in turn, 
but how to set things right? We couldn't find a way. 
The cattle were dead already ... 
and the gods soon showed us all some fateful signs — 
the hides began to crawl, the meat, both raw and roasted, 
bellowed out on the spits, and we heard a noise 
like the moan of lowing oxen. 
What does this scene seem to foreshadow?
