Ever since Zeus’ encounter with the king of Ithaca, it’s been a whole mess. Poseidon wants to kill the man for blinding his son, Athena isn’t wanting to mentor him anymore, Odysseus failed to follow Aeolus’ instructions, Hermes is helping the man, Circe sent him to the underworld, Odysseus’ crew killed a bunch of sirens, the man sacrificed 6 members of his crew to Scylla without their knowledge, they killed Apollo’s cows, Zeus killed the rest of Odysseus’ crew.
And now the man was stuck on Calypso’s island. Everyone else wanted your opinion on Odysseus, a few wanted you to hate him. And the others wanted you to help.
You never picked a side, just watched from the sidelines. The highs…. Mostly lows of the man. Not once did you do anything to interfere with his journey.
Until.
Hermes had BEGGED you to come with him to see if the two of you could get onto the nymphs island in attempt to free Odysseus. Even though it was a very dumb idea and most likely wouldn’t work, you agreed to go.
So later in the evening, you were getting ready to leave Olympus with Hermes. You were about to leave but was stopped by the strong presence of your father, Zeus.
“Where do you think you’re going?” His voice boomed from behind you, he wasn’t going to settle for any excuse.
