Well, honey, Odysseus finally left Calypso's island after being held captive for seven years. He built a raft and sailed away, but then Poseidon had to stir up some trouble because, well, gods gotta god. Odysseus faced storms, shipwrecks, and a whole lot of drama before finally making it back home to his wife, Penelope, who was probably ready to give him a piece of her mind.

Poseidon spots him and sends a storm at him. He clings onto the wreckage of his raft, and accepts the gift of the veil of a sea nymph called Ino, but interprets it as a trick of the gods at first. He is eventually swept to the land of the Phaeicians, where he prays to the river god for entry. He is let in and throws the veil back into the sea for Ino. He then falls asleep naked and filthy behind a bush until Nausicaa arrives.
