Leo And Calypso Summary Chapter 2

Improved Essays
Leo stood at the helm of the Argo II. He was thinking about Calypso, obviously. He thought about the things he and Aphrodite had talked about a few days ago.

Aphrodite slowly led him into the dining hall and then she sat down regally on one of the chairs.

"Sit down," She said to him with a smile on her face. As Leo slowly sat down on the edge of one of the chairs, she ran her hand through her long auburn curls.

"You know Leo, you and Calypso make a good couple." She looked at him an amused expression on her face.

Leo hadn 't been paying attention her and he heard himself say, "Huh? Oh thanks." That was when his brain processed what she had said.

"What?" He asked her, a rosy bloom crept over his face.

"You and Calypso, Calypso and you,"

Leo knew there had to be a catch.

"I told the other gods that you and Calypso will be together," Aphrodite said, "So if you don 't do it…things will look bad for both you and me. For you, because of the oath you took. And for me, because I am the goddess of love. That is why I am going to help you out. And since I am going to help you, I also expect you to find Calypso."

Leo looked down at his hands and tried to wrap his mind around everything she had said.

"One more thing…" She smiled.

Leo waited for her to say it. She was basically saying that if he tried to get to Ogygia by himself and he failed, he would die because of the oath he took. If he tried to do it with her help and still failed, both Aphrodite and the oath would kill him. It was not like it could get any worse.

"You can 't tell your friends about Calypso or ask for their

Leo sat down on of the chairs, and started to go back to thinking about Calypso. That was when he smelled cinnamon; he looked down at his plate. It was heaped high with churros, Leo felt like laughing and crying at the same time. Then he realized everyone was staring at him with a strange expression on their faces. He picked up one of the churros, took a bit and begged the gods to send something to distract them.

And that 's when his phone slash walkie-talkie thing that he made for Reyna, Nico and him started ringing. The music filled the room. "Is that the Avengers theme song?" Annabeth asked Leo, perplexed. "Oh yeah," Leo said, "I almost forgot about this thing."

As the other heroes watched, Leo pulled out a black thread necklace from under his shirt and put his hand around the only thing that was on it. There hung a single crimson, glowing bead from which the music seemed to be coming from. As he held his hand around it, a thin device that looked a great deal like an iPhone appeared in his

    The Odyssey, by Homer, is an epic poem about a hero named Odysseus who is trying to get back home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. He endures an incredible exhibition and conquers many trials along the way, all to return home to his family, yet it is still controversial whether or not he is a suitable epic hero. In order to be considered an epic hero in ancient Greek times, one must possess five important qualities. They are: strength, courage, leadership, craftiness, and devotion to home and family. Although Odysseus would not typically be deemed a hero in modern times, he does hold all five of the characteristics making him an epic hero.…

    In Hippolytus, free will is best defined as the power to choose your own course of action. Euripides explores a portion of human autonomy where we “know what’s good and recognize it”(Euripides 2001: 380) yet struggle to “accomplish it”(Euripides 2001: 381). That is to say, a struggle between different courses of action takes place and leads to a conflicted free will. Therefore, Euripides’ quotes can help shape the argument that free will, while strained by the actions of a god, is still functional. This paper will focus on how the motifs of arrogance and internal conflict establish an explanation for where responsibility for an action lies.…
