The opera premiered at the Op ra Comique in Paris on 3 June 1947. Poulenc first thought of setting the opera in the 1930s, and began composition in 1939, finishing in 1944. He altered the setting from the real Africa n island of Zanzibar to an imaginary town called Zanzibar near Monte Carlo Apollinaire s childhood home on the French Riviera . This latitude, he said, was quite tropical enough for the Parisian that I am. The opera closes with the stern command, Fran ais, faites des enfants O Frenchmen, make babies , and the success of this propaganda is perhaps seen in the fact that the first two sopranos cast in the role of Tiresias had to give it up before the premiere on account of pregnancy.

  1. Thrinacia

    Unreferenced date December 2009 For Trinakria as an alternate name for modern Sicily and for its triskeles symbol, also known as the island of the sun, see Trinacria . Thrinakia Greek language Greek , also Trinacria or Thrinacie , mentioned in Book 11 of Homer s Odyssey , is the island home of Helios s cattle , guarded by his eldest daughter, Lampetia . It is sometimes said to have been Sicily , since the name Thrinacia could be taken to imply a connection to the number three Greek treis, tria sounds vaguely similar to Thri and Sicily has three corners. However the island is also associated with Malta , and the fact that Sicily is often identified with the episode of the Cyclops Cyclopes only serves to underscore the shaky footing any geographer is on when trying to identify Homer s locations. Odysseus and his crew arrive at Thrinacia after passing past Scylla and Charybdis . Odysseus has been warned by both Circe and the shade of Tiresias to avoid Thrinacia, but his men beg him to let them stop and rest. He reluctantly agrees, but makes them swear an oath not to touch the cattle on the island. However, for the next month unfavorable winds blow continuously and they are unable to leave the island. When Odysseus goes to pray for a safe return to Ithaca , his crew, fearing starvation, slaughter and eat some of Helios s cattle. In punishment, when they finally sail away from the island, Helios successfully pleads to Zeus to send a thunderbolt at their ship, killing all the men except Odysseus. Odysseus is spared but, as forewarned by Circe and Tiresias, is himself punished when his return to Ithaca is delayed by a seven year sojourn on Ogygia .
