Interview With Calypso

Calypso obviously had a thing for Odysseus. She kept him on her desert island for seven years, after all. So when Athena asked Zeus to let him go, I doubt she sent sent him off with no regrets. So I chatted with her about that, and how she's doing now.

Emma: What were your initial thoughts when Hermes told you you had to let Odysseus go?

Calypso: Have you not read the book? There was an entire epic poem written about me, so maybe you should check there. I bet my initial thoughts are written there.

E: Well, the entire poem of the Odyssey was more about Odysseus, not you exactly.

C: Whatever. I'm just so over all that. Odysseus is like a distant memory to me now. Like I care.

E: Ok, so how are you doing now?

C: I'm fine. [lower lip trembles] Really fine. [bursts into tears]

E: Aw, it's okay. There are other fish in the sea, Calypso!

C: EWW! I am not interested in fish. I want my Odysseus back!!

And here the interview had to be cut short as Calypso started throwing things at me and retreated into her bedroom then. I am sorry for that. Poor girl.
