The One (1) Thing That Odysseus And Calypso Have In Common:

You know, I'm no expert at dating advice, and sure, maybe I've never tried to marry anyone before, but maybe, just maybe (and hear me out here), calling the woman you're trying to seduce a TRAMP isn't going to help your chances much.

Calypso is honestly the ultimate pick me. I can practically see her singing ‘you belong with me’ to poor Odysseus.

Ody fashions himself a hut opposite hers so they don’t have to share a bed, and every time he looks up she’s at the window with a sign.

“You ok?” You trapped me on an island what do you think the answer is Calypso??

Good to know that Eurylochus has started to haunt the narrative with his buddy polites

So true!! Don’t forget his marriage to Aphrodite as well. Of course the real asshole in that situation is Zeus, because he forced her to marry him. That being said, it couldn’t have been easy on Hephaestus. By the time we get to God Games, he’s completely given up on their marriage. Even the other Gods no longer recognise them as a pair, Athena refers to Ares as Aphrodite’s lover in front of everyone. That has to have stung.

Poor Hephaestus. Abandoned by his family, rejected by his wife - it’s no wonder he hides away in his workshop with only his machines to keep him company, valuing trust above all else…

I think it's so clever the way Athena plays into Hephaestus's own issues in convincing him to let Odysseus go, because he first identifies himself with the crew, sacrificed, cast aside, but Athena reframes it to make him identify with Odysseus, who was betrayed by his crew, the people he was supposed to trust, which plays into his emotions surrounding his own toss from mount Olympus. Then she puts Odysseus into a sphere with people who love him, who want to build a future with him, implying that those that are betrayed also still have people in their corner, people who love them; that Hephaestus has people that love him too. It's so fun how much thought is put into each brief interaction in God Games

How long do you think it took Odysseus to cave and tell Calypso his name?

Dear sweet mother of Athena... BOY DO I DETEST CALYPSO. NO MEANS NO GIRL... AND THE FACT SHE KEPT HARRASSING AND TRYING TO WOO ODYSSEUS...

Gags me

AND THEN!! In I'm not Sorry for Loving you, she essentially tries to GASLIGHT him by saying: If my love is too much then sorry not sorry.
