Book five- Freedom from Calypso

Finally, after Athena and Zeus's willingness to help me, I was able to leave this dreadful island and get away from Calypso. She drove me insane! It's been years since I've left Ogygia, and I started to believe that it would be many more years until I was found or allowed to leave. I must pray to Athena and Zeus on how grateful I was, when they sent Hermes down from Mount Olympus to talk to Calypso and allow me to leave. Calypso tried to argue with Hermes, but no one can dismiss Zeus' orders, because he is the most powerful god on Olympus. So I had to make a boat with Calypso's help to set sail. She looked really depressed and maybe even heartbroken. So I left the island,and while I was at sea, Poseidon realized that I was there and became furious. He then created a huge storm, and I thought I was going to drown. For days I was struggling to stay alive out at sea with no food or water and no one to rescue me. I thought I was going to die. Finally, the goddess Ino sees me and wants to help me. She told me to get rid of my cloak, let go of my boat, and swim to shore. She also gave me her veil, which would keep me from getting hurt or drowning. Then, when I got back to shore, I would throw the veil back to sea. Also, while I was swimming, Athena helped me by calming down the winds and making them stop. Finally, I made it to land. The storm was fierce, and there were many times when I thought I would die. I am very exhausted, but now I am home. I will get to see my family for the first time in many years, and I will be home. I then began to sleep with ease after the long, but worthwhile journey. If one believes that all things will turn out well in the long run, most likely they will.
