!Book 5 notes and Quotes!

--Quotes--
"'My child, what odd complaints you let escape you. Have you not, you yourself, arranged this matter-as we all know- so that Odysseus will bring these men to book, on his return?"-Zeus
"Oh you vile gods, in jealousy supernal you hate it when we choose to lie with men..."-Calypso
"I long for home, long for the sight of home. If any god has marked me out againfor shipwreck, my tough heart can undergo it. What hardship have I not long since enduredat sea, in battle! Let the trial come."-O
"A cruel turn, this. Never had I thought to see this land, but Zeus has let me see it..."-O
Notes-
Athena again shows pity for O at the council of gods.
Zeus asks hermes to go to Calypso and command that O is released. When Caylpso heres this she becomes very angry. But she has to obey Zeus so she releases O.
Caylpso finds O weeping and then helps him build a raft. O is kinda unsure at first, wondering if this is a trick, but after she swears and lets her help him. It takes 4 days to build and on the 5th day he leaves the island. He travels safely for 17 days. but on the 18th day Poisden sees him and makes great big storms. But during the storm Ino, takes pity on him and gives him a veil. The veil will not let him die from drowning. (I think of it as a floatation device (: ) With the Veil he jumps off the boat and swims for 2 days and 2 nights until he finds a island. once he gets there he throws the veil back into the ocean, as ino requested and then O falls alseep on the shore covered with leaves. So that he cannot be seen
