Calypso+2

Calypso June 2 Today Odysseus told me of his homeland; Ithaka, by name and how he ruled it as the King of Ithaka. He told me of his family; he told me of his family; of his dear wife Penelope and son Telemachus who he left twelve years ago when his dear son was just a baby. And of his father old Laertes and of his nures that he had had since a baby; Eurycleia. He began to get a sad look on his face; a face of longing; so I told him to help me tend my garden. I told Odysseus about my garden. I have quite a large garden you know, with many diverse plants; flowers, herbs bushes and much more. For a while he seemed distracted from his bothering but as night came he regained that same distant, sad look he had before. I wish to ask the dear Odysseus what is bothering him but it is late now, I shall wait until dawn. June 3 This morning I asked the dear Odysseus what was bothering him; he told me he yearned for his dear wife and son who he had left behind so long ago and he would like to go back to them. I then felt something I have never felt before; I felt angry, sad, lonely and tricked. I felt angry at Odysseus for not wanting to stay with me and at the Gods for tricking me. The Gods tricked me by sending someone to my island that I could not help falling in love with but someone who could and would not stay with me. I felt sad and lonely for Odysseus did not want to stay with me. Then I came up with a grand idea that would make him want to stay with me forever. I offered the great Odysseus immortality if he stayed on this island forever with me as my companion. I was so proud of myself for coming up with such a scheme, for surly no man would turn down the offer. Later….. I propose my idea to Odysseus; he didn’t seem as excited as I would have thought but rather sad still. He told me that he would have to think about the offer I had proposed to him; he said he would answer me in the morning. Next
