tldr; hermes tells kalypso that she can't keep hogging her boy toy on her island forever. so (very reluctantly & with some moderate complaining) she gives him all this fancy shit for his trip home, only for poseidon to immediately try killing him once he gets in the ocean. however he gets saved by this water nymph & river god and ends the chapter not doing too hot passed tf out on shore.

book 4/24 ✅️ (halfway thru book 5)
tldr; telemachus goes to see another one of his old dad's war buddies menelaus. Big M tells him of how the gods cursed his voyage home as well but when he gained favor found out Ody was still alive lost at sea. book 5 starts w/Zeus sending Hermes to talk some sense into Kalypso to let Ody go (who is basically holding him hostage as a sex slave??). so Ody gets to leave safely (maybe)
