Ogygia


The beautiful and wise goddess Calypso saved me and forced herself to be my lover for seven years. The great messenger Hermes came to tell Calypso to release me after Athene and Zeus had intervened on my part and she gave me generous food and wood to make a raft. On the way to Scheria I met Ino as I was about to drown and she gave me a cloak that would make me stay alive for the next few days while he was on sea.

I decided to listen to Ino's instructions instead of doubt her. At first I  doubted her, but then listened, of course I had no other choice. But by  doing this I made it to Scheria.
