Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

LEGENDARY, LITTLE WOLF and WE'LL BE FINE: Yeah, grouping these three together for convenience. So, at the start of The Odyssey, we meet Telemakhos, who at this point is either twenty or even older depending on the source. Part of the epic is about his own journey into becoming a man in his own right while a hundred and eight men invade his home, all vying for his mother Penelope's hand in marriage, with two of the more prominent ones being two Ithacans named ANTINOÖS (Ἀντίνοος) and EURUMAKHOS (Εὐρύμαχος). Needless to say, he doesn't have the best relationship with them and has come to believe that his father is dead.

He meets Athena in her disguise as MENTES (Μέντης) and welcomes her as a guest, after which she not only tries to convince him that Odysseus is still alive, but to also tell the suitors to leave and gather a ship to speak with Nestor and Menelaus (who has just returned home after being stranded in Egypt) in order to find out news about his father. Telemakhos attempts to do so the next day during an assembly, with Zeus even sending support in the form of two eagles to swoop down at the men, while a prophet named HALITHERSES (Ἁλιθέρσης) says that Odysseus will return home soon.

Of course, the suitors ignore all of this, with Eurumakhos even trying to convince Telemakhos to send Penelope back to her father so that she may prepare to remarry, to which Telemakhos replies that if he hears that his father is dead, he will build a tomb and perform the funeral rites, and give his mother to a new husband. Athena—now disguised as MENTOR (Μέντωρ)—and Halitherses accompany him, while the suitors—overheard by Penelope—plot to kill the prince upon his return.

LOVE IN PARADISE: After losing his crew, Odysseus awakens on the island of Ogygia, where he meets the nymph KALUPSO (Καλυψώ), daughter of the Titan ATLAS (Ατλας). Wishing to have Odysseus for a husband, she traps him on her island for the next seven years and even promises to make him immortal, but Odysseus never reciprocates. According to Hesiod, they had two children, NAUSITHOOS (Ναυσίθοος) and NAUSINOOS (Ναυσίνοος).

GOD GAMES: This is how The Odyssey begins, with a meeting between the gods; Zeus first speaks of the death of AIGISTHOS (Αἴγισθος), who had failed to adhere to the warnings against courting Klytemnestra and plotting Agamemnon's death, but Athena soon changes the subject to plead with her father over having Odysseus released from Calypso's grasp.

Athena looked at him steadily and answered, “Father, he did deserve to die. Bring death to all who act like him! But I am agonizing about Odysseus and his bad luck. For too long he has suffered, with no friends, sea all around him, sea on every side, out on an island where a goddess lives, daughter of fearful Atlas, who holds up the pillars of the sea, and knows its depths—those pillars keep the heaven and earth apart. His daughter holds that poor unhappy man, and tries beguiling him with gentle words to cease all thoughts of Ithaca; but he longs to see even just the smoke that rises from his own homeland, and he wants to die. You do not even care, Olympian! Remember how he sacrificed to you on the broad plain of Troy beside his ships? So why do you dismiss Odysseus?”

“Daughter!” the Cloud God said, “You must be joking, since how could I forget Odysseus? He is more sensible than other humans, and makes more sacrifices to the gods. But Lord Poseidon rages, unrelenting, because Odysseus destroyed the eye of godlike Polyphemus, his own son, the strongest of the Cyclopes—whose mother, Thoösa, is a sea-nymph, child of Phorcys, the sea king; and she lay beside Poseidon inside a hollow cave. So now Poseidon prevents Odysseus from reaching home but does not kill him. Come then, we must plan: how can he get back home? Poseidon must give up his anger, since he cannot fight alone against the will of all the gods.”

After coming up with a plan, it's only afterwards that Athena speaks with Telemakhos.

Με ταχύτητα 16 κόμβων έπλεε το γιγαντιαίο container ship «Maersk Launceston» λίγο συγκρουστεί με το ναρκοθηρευτικό του Πολεμικού Ναυτικού «Καλλιστώ», το οποίο επίσης είχε αποπλεύσει από τον ναύσταθμο Σαλαμίνας νωρίς το πρωί της Τρίτης. Το στοιχείο αυτό έχει αποτυπωθεί στους χάρτες που καταγράφουν την πορεία των εμπορικών πλοίων. Το «Maersk Launceston» μήκους 266 μέτρων, κινούνταν με ταχύτητα 5,3 κόμβων μέχρι να προσεγγίσει στην Ψυττάλεια. Από ώρα 07:04, μόλις 14 λεπτά μετά τον απόπλου, όπου έπλεε με 5,3 κόμβους, αρχίζει σταδιακά να αυξάνει ταχύτητα. Ώρα 07:10 κινείται με 6,8 κόμβους, ώρα 07:14 πλέει με 9,8 κόμβους, ώρα 07:19 κινείται με 12,2 κόμβους, ώρα 07:24 με 16,1 κόμβους και στις 07:29 η ταχύτητά του καταγράφεται στους 16 κόμβους. Λίγα λεπτά αργότερα, κατά πάσα πιθανότητα ώρα 07:34 το τεράστιο container ship προσκρούει στο πίσω μέρος του ναρκοθηρευτικού «Καλλιστώ». Το Launceston κινούνταν με 16 κόμβους λίγο πριν τη σύγκρουσηΩρα 7:29. Ταχύτητα 16 κόμβωνΟ χάρτης δείχνει ότι η σύγκρουση έγινε 2,65 ν.μ. πριν το separation

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

I'M NOT SORRY FOR LOVING YOU: After spending seven years on Kalupso's island, longing for his dear Penelope, Odysseus is finally allowed to leave when Zeus—through Hermes—orders Kalupso to let the mortal king go. At first, the goddess is extremely reluctant, saying:

“You cruel, jealous gods! You bear a grudge whenever any goddess takes a man to sleep with as a lover in her bed. Just so the gods who live at ease were angry when rosy-fingered Dawn took up Orion, and from her golden throne, chaste Artemis attacked and killed him with her gentle arrows. Demeter with the cornrows in her hair indulged her own desire, and she made love with Iasion in triple-furrowed fields—till Zeus found out, hurled flashing flame and killed him.

So now, you male gods are upset with me for living with a man. A man I saved! Zeus pinned his ship and with his flash of lightning smashed it to pieces. All his friends were killed out on the wine-dark sea. This man alone, clutching the keel, was swept by wind and wave, and came here, to my home. I cared for him and loved him, and I vowed to set him free from time and death forever. Still, I know no other god can change the will of Zeus. So let him go, if that is Zeus’ order, across the barren sea. I will not give an escort for this trip across the water; I have no ships or rowers. But I will share what I know with him, and gladly give useful advice so he can safely reach his home.”

And Kalupso does just that, helping him get ready for the journey ahead.

There's not much I can say on DANGEROUS, but with CHARYBDIS: The closest Odysseys comes to encountering KHARYBDIS (Χαρυβδις)—a daughter of GAIA (Γαια) herself—is after the smiting of his remaining crew:

I came back to the dreadful rocks of Scylla and of Charybdis, gulping salty water, and overshadowed by the fig tree’s branches. I jumped and clutched its trunk, batlike—unable to plant my feet, or climb. The roots were down too low; the tall long branches were too high. So I kept clinging on; I hoped Charybdis would belch my mast and keel back up. She did! As one who spends the whole day judging quarrels between young men, at last goes home to eat—at that same hour, the planks came bobbing up out of Charybdis.

I let go my hands and feet and dropped myself way down to splash into the sea below, beside the timbers of floating wood. I clambered onto them, and used my hands to row myself away, and Zeus ensured that Scylla did not see me, or else I could not have survived. I drifted for nine days. On the evening of the tenth, the gods helped me to reach the island of the dreadful, beautiful, divine Calypso.

GET IN THE WATER and 600 STRIKE: The closest analog to this would be when, after leaving Kalupso's island, Poseidon spots Odysseus and sends a storm to wreck the raft, until the latter is helped by the goddess INO (Ινω) in reaching dry land, specifically the kingdom of Scheria, home of the Phaeacians. There, Odysseus is greeted with open arms by Princess NAUSIKÁA (Ναυσικάα) and her parents, King ALCINOUS (Ἀλκίνους) and Queen ARETE (Ἀρήτη), after Athena guides the princess to him. It is through them the king of Ithaca recounts his entire tale and they agree to help him get home afterwards by providing him with gold and a self-steering ship, but earning the Sea God's wrath in the process as Poseidon destroys the ship upon its return to Scheria and threatens to cover the kingdom with a mountain.

Σφοδρή σύγκρουση σημειώθηκε νωρίς το πρωί της Τρίτης στα ανοιχτά του λιμανιού του Πειραιά ανάμεσα σε εμπορικό πλοίο που μετέφερε κοντέινερ και το ναρκοθηρευτικό «Καλλιστώ» του Πολεμικού Ναυτικού, με αποτέλεσμα το δεύτερο να υποστεί μεγάλη ζημιά. Η πρύμνη του ναρκαλιευτικού «Καλλιστώ» έχει αποκοπεί σχεδόν ολόκληρη και το πλοίο επιπλέει με δυσκολία. Το ναυτικό ατύχημα έγινε λίγο μετά τις 07:30 το πρωί όταν το τεράστιο πλοίο μεταφοράς κοντέινερ Maersk Launceston με σημαία Πορτογαλίας που είχε αναχωρήσει από την περιοχή την Ψυττάλεια με προορισμό το Τσανακαλέ της Τουρκίας διασταυρώθηκε με το ναρκαλιευτικό του Πολεμικού Ναυτικού που είχε αποπλεύσει από τον ναύσταθμο της Σαλαμίνας. Για άγνωστο λόγο το εμπορικό πλοίο χτύπησε με μεγάλη ταχύτητα την πρύμνη του πολεμικού σκάφους. Το ναρκαλιευτικό με πλήρωμα 27 ατόμων αμέσως είχε μεγάλη εισροή υδάτων και πήρε κλίση. Στο σημείο έσπευσαν αμέσως διερχόμενα πλοία, ρυμουλκά και σκάφη του λιμενικού. Από τη σύγκρουση τραυματίστηκαν ελαφριά 2 άτομα από το πλήρωμα του πολεμικού πλοίου τα οποία μεταφέ��θηκαν για προληπτικούς λόγους στο ναυτικό νοσοκομείο. Το Ναρκαλιευτικό «Καλλιστώς» είναι κατασκευασμένο από πλαστικό και υαλονήματα και για αυτό σύμφωνα με τους εμπειρογνώμονες του πολεμικού ναυτικού υπέστη τόσο μεγάλη ζημιά από τη σύγκρουση, όπως αναφέρει ρεπορτάζ του τηλεοπτικού σταθμού Mega. Όμως παράλληλα το υλικό κατασκευής του είναι ο λόγος που δεν έχει βυθιστεί, ενώ έχει αποκοπεί ένα κομμάτι πρύμνης που φτάνει τα 12 μέτρα. Το πολεμικό πλοίο ρυμουλκείται με αργή ταχύτητα προς τον ναύσταθμο ενώ το εμπορικό πλοίο έχει ακινητοποιηθεί για να πραγματοποιηθεί έλεγχος για τυχόν ζημίες. Ήδη κλιμάκιο του πολεμικού ναυτικού έχει ξεκινήσει την έρευνα για τα αίτια του ατυχήματος.
