Odysseus is "slicing" Tethis...
Original caption:"The profile of the 450-Km-wide (about 280 miles) Crater Odysseus makes this image look as if someone sliced off a chunk of Tethys. According to measurements made in Voyager images, the Crater rim rises to about 5 Km (approx. 3 miles) above the surrounding terrain. 
This view shows territory eastward of a previously released Cassini view that looked more directly into the giant impact basin. Tethys' equatorial dark band can be seen here as well. 
This view shows principally the Southern leading Hemisphere of Tethys. North is up and rotated 10° to the left. 
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 31, 2005, at a distance of approximately 1,3 MKM (approx. 800.000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 18°. The image scale is 8 Km (about 5 miles) per pixel".
