@@TheBlackFootedProphet Not in EPIC. In EPIC he's trapped there because the place is enchanted (read: cursed by zeus) and she doesn't rape him. She does love him and tries to get him to love her but that's all it came to.
@@Theorchero have you listened to Love in Paradise? Like, at all? Read along to the lyrics and also note HOW she speaks when she says the things she says. Keep in mind, it hints that Odysseus is a sleep talker, too. And see her words that she uses. Do the same to the Odyssey (Lattimore hase a good translation). She strokes his hand when she speaks to him after he implies that she oversimplified something. It was a threat. Make sure you pay attention to the whole thing. The Greeks spoke subtle. Overly polite.
@@boiriThis is true... But I think hey island is cursed such that no one can come or go without the will if Olympus, so even if she wanted to she couldn't help him out. That said, her actions are abusive and monstrous, and need to be treated as such, but she is also a victim of being trapped on her island. She is both victim and abuser, and I do have empathy for that
Truthfully, I don’t think Calypso understood how to truly love someone. She thought making love to him and pushing/convincing him to love you is love, little did she know it’s manipulation and made Ody have suicidal thoughts. You can’t make someone love you, consent and respect is a big factor in loving someone. Remember if this was a guy trying to push a woman to making love to her it’s rape and harassment, flip the gender around with Calypso and Ody still the same thing
Thunder saga came out about nine days ago and we just know this will be in the next saga and I'm so excited for it (all of the other songs, but we are this clip right now)
Sorry to burst your bubble but Not sorry for loving you is the first song in the Vengeance Saga and the next Saga to come out is the Wisdom Saga, which contains songs 26 through 30
Homeric Odysseus: Calypso, you kidnapped me for 7 years, against my will, even when you saw me cry every day thinking in my beloved wife. If it is necessary so you don't curse me, I will lie with you one last time. But let me go. Pd: sorry my english
This would've been so cute if only her love for Odysseus didn't lead her to ending her life when he left 😥 I NEED A FANART OF CALYPSO WITH THE CUTE LOTUS-EATERS 😭
@@zacharymoss2994 I think one author wrote that 1000 years after the original story. But in the era of Greek mythology this is based on she wouldn't be able to kill herself if she wanted to. She's a god. Gods can't die. Her story is still super dark though. Cursed to be trapped on the Island forever due to supporing her father (A titan) in Zues's uprising. She's been stuck isolated in the island for longer than the history of humanity. And after Oddy leaves. She's back to being alone.
@@vladimirmaxwellurestiluna7379 not in the original epos homer wrote so that sup to debate the first mentioning of her having sons with ody is about 500 years after homer did bite it.
You can really tell how much Odysseus feels bad for Calypso, even though she's practically kept him prisoner in hopes he might feel the same way (which is pretty screwed up). He actually does seem to be trying to let her down gently (then again he might just be trying not to anger her cause she's an all power goddess and all). Anyway their story just proves you can't force romantic love nor are entitled to someone's, especially in the Odyssey when she tries to bribe Odysseus with immortality and he still chooses the possibility of being with Penelope again. Sorry Calypso he loves Penelope too much, he'd take her over immortality anyday.
Compared to what a lot of Greek gods were like, calypso is very easy to sympathize with. What she did was pretty awful, but most of the gods motives were super petty for their actions. I think desperation for companionship is a lot better than every time Zeus couldn’t keep it in his pants
@@gameb9oy oh I know, Calypso's action are far from the worst thing the Gods have done. And it is hard not to feel bad for her, but while her past and loneliness explain her actions they do not necessarily excuse them. Though props to her for letting Odysseus go (sort of... without a fight at least) I guess. And in a way she did care (arguments can be made about the love part. Because being love means knowing you're not entitled to someone else's and you can't to force it, in the end it's better to let them go because you want them to be happy) about Odysseus as she did keep him alive (albeit probably for her own benefit) and well I guess. I am trying to be optimistic here. But anyway, Calypso definitely is better than some gods (*cough* Zeus *cough*).
@@nevaehgriffin1668Calypso was actually a nymph indeed. Her mother is an ocean nymph and her father a titan. She ruled over the island she lived, and infact she didn't live alone like the musical says, but she lived with others nymphs there. And she kept Odysseus prisoner for 7 years.He was miserable and crying and she had sexual interactions with him but without him wanting.Then Athena request from her father to order Calypso to finally let Odysseus free.
"What am I supposed to do with this love for you?" Hit me so damn hard. You really don't know what to do with it when the person it's all for won't accept it
@@yoshidollface what.... She held him hostage, abused him, Stockholmed him, raped him. Forced him to have kids with her. Were you even listening to the song? And then she says "I'm not sorry for loving you." Like, bitch, you tortured him for 7 years. That's not love. She was straight up evil. That's why her 2 son's with him have names that sound like Nauseous. He probably wanted to throw up with what she did to him.
“I have a wife.” “She’s not here.” “Yes she is. She’s in my heart and my mind, she’s in my dreams every night.” -Not really specific to Calypso, just popped in my head Love this song and animatic btw 💖 Amazing work thank you so much for this animatic I love it
@@osirisshadoll4572 That wasnt Odysseus's choice, Circe was holding the lives of his friends over his head. Either he slept with her or she ate his men. It is also unlikely he would have made it out alive himself if he didn't go through with it, or in the case of the musical, if she didnt show him sympathy.
@@geekasauruswreks8789Odysseus was forced into sleeping with them on both occasions, at least in the version I've heard of. Circe made him choose between the lives of his men, and sleeping with her. It is also likley he would not have made it out alive himself if he did not sleep with her. In Calypso's case, Odysseus spent every day of his seven year stay crying on the beach, thinking of his wife. Calypso forced the intercourse between the two.
I know, right?! I kinda wish Jorge would show a little more of the song now. I'm sure it's, by no means, anywhere near done, but I want more snippets. 🤣
@@sebaredghost9068Fun fact, but I was actually doing an animatic for 'Love in Paradise' before this one! Sadly, I couldn't produce something I felt was original, especially when there were already so many amazing animatics out there. So I've put it on hold for the time being. But considering the positive reception this video has gotten, it's definitely something I'll consider once my day job calms down a little!
I feel so bad for Calypso confusion at the end. She's spent a lifetime alone on an island, she can't possibly comprehend a love outside of romance. Meanwhile he did love her, but more how you love a fantastic friend. But she can't comprehend it
@@BlueCookies1116 personally, I think calypso definitely could’ve been released from the island, but I don’t think calypso and Leo are a good match, I can definitely understand the reasoning for shipping them and respect the ship but I just don’t think it’s a good ship
I think it’s less that she can’t comprehend it, more that she sees romantic love as the ultimate love and has never been given any sort of love at all. The fact that her first love is unrequited, even if there is platonic love, makes her feel inadequate. It makes her feel like she’ll never find love, and like she doesn’t deserve it (even if she knows he loves her.) (I relate to this song so badly. Yes I am venting.)
bro that interpretation upon the change of chorus and tone, IS GONNA KILL ME😭😭😭im cryingg how dare, the tiktok duet was one interpretation where after odysseus says 'not the way u want me to' calypso immediately just get angry with him with 'i hate that i fell for u', this made much more sense that oddyseus was taken away before she said the line and indicating not true hatred for him but FOR THE WAY she loved him becuz at this point he was gone
@@cookieaddict5956 she is also cursed with love. Any man who comes to her island (which is already hidden away from everyone, basically) she will fall in love with. Old Greek stories were fucked up
I can only imagine how lonely calypso must feel, especially after ody leaves. Imagine finally getting to have human contact then it get striped away again
His years spent on there Vs the years she spent alone again and again since Odysseus isn't the first to be on her island (atleast I think) Is just sad. I know he wants to go home but she doesn't understand since she lives here life on a damn lonely island
Fr especially as someone who experienced a small fraction of that in a long distance relationship (and my first ever physical one) where you finally get to be with them, only to have to say goodbye after spending every single moment with them for months and missing them. It's twice as hard to deal with loneliness after experiencing what it's like not to be alone anymore. My body would react to someone walking beside me by automatically taking their hand before i even realized what i was doing-
No matter the version of the story Calypso's left heartbroken whether Odysseus remains faithful to Penelope or not. These two songs in EPIC are my favorite. Hands down. Even in comparison to the entirety of the Cyclops saga. My close second is This Life is Amazing.
My heart literally broke into a million pieces every time she smiled through her tears. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go lie on the floor and cry for the next few days, thank you.
See this reminds me of idk if you have watched MHA but Ms. Joke is a big one who comes to mind. She is always denied by the one she loves and smiles even though she’s hurting.
This song makes me feels so sad for Calypso. I understand her cuz one of my biggest fears is living Someone and that love being too much and pushing them away. Beautiful animatic❤
I wonder if there's anything behind the fact that Calypso's apologies are not good apologies. They're all saying I'm sorry if YOU reacted this way or I'm sorry if I was too much for YOU. Like the phrasing puts the blame on Odysseus for the issue at hand. Idk maybe I'm reading too much into it.
same qnd I'm kinda sad (as I've heard from other fans) that Jorge took away the borderline rape cuz ..you can have interesting characters and unreliable narrators even like that
In her defense she has had like no interaction with the outside world or other people so she was raised as a goddess and assumed if somthing arrived on her island it was hers by fate
Poor Calypso. I hope that she finds happiness one day and someone who will never leave her and love her unconditionally #Romantic P.S. AWESOME JOB WITH THIS SONG AND DRAWINGS ITS INCREDIBLE
Unlikely since "Goddesses can't die." A line Calypso said in the last song. Also even if she wasn't a goddess the island she lives on makes everyone on it immortal so she couldn't kill herself even if she tried. @@wilddeath1
Again, sorry that the audio at 2:23 drops in quality - the clearest audio I could find when splicing was from the Goodspeed Festival, which had an open environment.

begging on my knees to Percy Jackson fans to PLEASE bother to learn what parts were added by Rick Riordan. there is no absolving her of her guilt, in epic or odyssey canon.
@@cf0e3 While true, I will say that at least she took him leaving like a champ. I know she didn't have a choice, but she could've easily just been like "nah, do it on your own." Luckily she really did love him so she gave him everything he'd need to get back home. I think she fit well for what she was meant for (to show when love is overtaken by something like pride) and, while she was pretty bad (won't excuse anything), at least she wasn't trying to do it just to fuck with Ody. Doesn't absolve her or anything, but man can people relate to unrequited love... Even if it did lead to such horrible acts.
“I wish you would chase me Or try to embrace me for once I wish you would lie and say-“ “-I love you” “…y-you do?” “But not in the way you want me to…” “I hate that I’m still in love with you! :(” Oof that hits so hard I'm crying
I think the line was "I hate that I fell in love with you." Which is even more sad because she doesn't hate that she still cares about him, she hates that she ever met him. Now she knows what it feels like and knows she'll never have it again. 😢
Dont worry Calypso! One day you'll meet a nice guy named Leo Valdez. At first you wont like him, but then youll fall in love with him. And he'll definitely love you.
I hate her so much more for trying the guilt trip bullshit after she saw Odysseus nearly kill himself from despair How empty and selfish do you have to be to see yourself causing so much suffering and then go "I'm not sorry"
@@arkabratadas4350 song said a hundred years, and that's not excuse for kidnapping someone for YEARS and constantly sexually harassing him at BEST. maybe consider why you're trying to excuse a potential rapist
@@cf0e3 Not *excusing* the kidnapper and what not mind you. She's still in the wrong just like put it here. Just trying to pull up info on the background of why she turned out like this. She's still very much in the wrong.
This is beautiful! I always felt horrible for calypso in the myths, I'm so glad she's finally getting some love ❤️ the lighting is gorgeous, loving the way you drew her!
I just wanna say, she was banished here after the Titan war. She supported her parent. As a result she was cursed here, if she left she'd become mortal (and with the island so far from any others she wouldn't survive) when Odyssesus arrives he cries every day for Penelope. When Zeus forces her to allow him to go some myths say she has his twins, others say she followed 💀 herself as a result. This animation adds to that heartbreak so well ❤ honestly gorgeous ❤❤❤
I actually found your comment on the compilation, so I checked out your channel and left a previous comment, but I guess youtube knew I've been stalking your channel in hopes you followed through with the promise of you making this, and recommended me this 😂😂 you crushed this ! Very well done !
Yeah, I didn't know when or if they'd end up responding. But I got too impatient, so ended up compiling the song snippets from the original sources so I'd have some audio to go off of 😅
Honestly real talk as a SA survivor calypso has no redeeming qualities what so ever. Calling what calypso does "love" is like calling a stab wound a boop on the nose. (Beautiful Animatic tho!)
@@totallychilledguyThird This might be my second favorite Epic the Musical song that I’ve heard so far No Longer You barely beats it out maybe, but this one could be a contender for first
I don’t feel bad. I understand what she went through but I cannot sympathise with a character who sa’d a man every night for 7 years and held him captive there
This brings up memories of my recent ex girlfriend 😢 she was the best thing I ever had and I practically pushed her away because of past traumas from a past relationship but I just hope she knows she was the love of my life😢
During wisdom saga, I wanted to give Calypso a good shove... YOU HAVE NEARLY SENT ME TO THE FLOOR SOBBING WITH AN UNRELEASED SONG, HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE JORGE!! AAAAAA😢😢😢
Love this. The flowers glowing with her passion and Odysseus trying his best to be kind to her feelings but unwavering. I really feel for Calypso and the animation really blended well with the emotional depth of the song. I'm smiling and feeling like bursting into tears at the same time. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🥹
Personally, I don't exactly like how they tried to make calipso sympathetic. In the original story, Odessias kept rejecting her but she still slept with him every night, which just to be clear, means she kept graping him every night for seven years. I understand she is a goddess who lived in a world where indulging in this kind of behavior was not seen as a big deal, but there should be no expectation placed on her victim to forgive her or let her down gently. He is still a man who went through hell to get back to his wife and remained faithful to her, despite getting a vague prophecy about her finding another man from Tiresias mind you, meaning this type of intimacy is something sacred to him. Yet this woman completely ignored his wants and his pleading for her to stop. If it's honestly that hard to sympathize with the victim here just switch the genders. If a male god forced himself on a mortal woman for seven years because he "loved" her despite her telling him no and being married and trying for over a decade at this point to get back home to her husband and son, how would that look?
I mean, EPIC isnt a 1:1 retelling of The Odyssey. Jorge probably took that aspect out- This Calypso alluded to it but she probably tried to make him comfrotable and kept distance. Yeah yeah, acknowledge to source material and all that but like stated, EPIC isnt a 1:1 retelling.
@@-drxxms-dxlight yeah I get that, but rape with male victims and female rapists isn't really depicted or talked about in media. I mean, rape I get real isn't talked about much and if it is it's not really portrayed as it should be. But this musical already alludes to rape twice (zeus and antinous kinda umplying raping a woman in their songs) so it doesn't really shy away from that subject matter, so, why not also address what Odessias went through? That's what I don't get.
Its sad for both parties involved. She was casted away by Zeus to this island and cursed to where if ANYONE were to stumble upon it, she would fall madly in love with them. She literally loves him due to a curse which is so sad. Poor Odysseus just wants to get home and chooses Penelope over immortality and staying with Calypso.
She wasn't cursed. She fell in love with him due to the long isolation and Odysseus's overall quality. His looks, personality and charisma play it's part.
Idc how ‘sad’ Calypso story is cus she 🍇ed Odysseus multiple times (obviously against his will) and I’m pretty sure it says in the odyssey that he cried ever night on her island cus he just wanted to get back to his wifey:( idc how much trama she has nothing excuses 🍇 if Odysseus did that we’d never hear the end of it (not saying it’s ok for him either btw!)
@@jackierabbitshe still trapped him on her island for 7 whole ass years, either unaware or uncaring to the fact that she was making his mental worse and worse cuz he has nothing to do but stew in his trauma. Also Jorge changing her character like this just feels…SO iffy to me, like I get that she isn’t a r-pist and removing that is fine but making her sympathetic like this just, erases and invalidates the trauma Odysseus received from her
@@cyclone-studio18correct me if I’m wrong because I’m getting around to reading the Odyssey but doesn’t she not have a choice in the matter? Wouldn’t that be like blaming a captive that someone else becomes a captive in their prison?
Lyrics: Calypso: normal text Reprise: (text in parantheticals) Odysseus: *text with asterisks* Someone arrived today. They said they're taking you away. That you're not mine to save. And soon I won't get to see your face. So I came by to say: You're unlike anyone I have ever known. Cause you're all I've ever known. And if I pushed you Or if I came on too strong Or if I have pushed you For that, I'll say I was wrong. And if you hate me Then I am sorry my love's too much for you. But I'm not sorry for loving you (I'm not sorry for loving you) I'm not sorry for loving you (I'm not sorry for loving you) *Calypso* Let me speak I spent my whole life here Was cast away when I was young Alone for a hundred years I had no friend but the skye and sun So when you washed ashore I thought for sure that you were my dream come true I thought I knew So if I pushed you Or if I came on too strong Or if I have pushed you For that, I'll say I was wrong. And if you hate me Then I am sorry my love's too much for you. But I'm not sorry for loving you (I'm not sorry for loving you) I'm not sorry for loving you (I'm not sorry for loving you) I'm not sorry- I'm angry and tired and restless and sad I'm stuck in the moments I swore that we had I wish you would chase me or try to embrace me For once I wish you would lie and say *I love you* You do? *but not in the way that you want me to* I hate that I fell in love with you Why did I fall in love with you? (Why did I fall in love with you?) What do I do with this love for you? How am I supposed to move on from you? Why in the world won't you love me too?
I feel so bad for her. All she wanted was someone to love her.😭 She was the only God I felt bad for. At least her son loved her since her husband abandoned her. They never even let her find a new mate.
Ok kids, we do not equate mind control to love. If someone says no and you do something against their will anyway or you make it so that have no choice but to do the thing they refused to do, then that is not love. A cute song that basically amounts to, "Sorry, not sorry, I kept you away from your family for seven years." Is icky on multiple levels. If she really loved him, she would have sent him on his way a very long time ago.
Full heartedly agreed!!! Her reasoning is explained, still doesn’t change the fact what she did is despicable, or that Odysseus owes her nothing like she seems to think he should in this song

But he wasn't lying to Calypso he loves her like a very dear friend even though she kept him prisoner she kept him from unaliving himself due to the PTSD from the trauma all the way from Troy to Polymepheus Posideon Circe the Underworld Scylla mutiny and thunder bringer I think he was telling Calypso thank you for helping me love life so I can be with my wife and son
What is everyone saying here? Calypso rapes Odysseus for 7 YEARS. And people feel bad for her? With Circe, the consent is in question but with Calypso, it's non present.
Not every adaptation has Odysseus do anything with either. In Epic, during God Games, while trying to convince Hera, Athena makes the claim Odysseus, "Never once has he cheated on his wife". While SA wouldn't be considered cheating, ever, since it's not consensual, when taken in reference to the Gods, especially Hera who would regularly punish those who Zeus SAed, it's save to say the gods may view it differently (I don't agree with them, I can't stress this enough). I think it's safe to say in this adaptation, that didn't happen. She did keep him trapped on the island, and continued to pester him, but it's never shown she passed any boundary and Odysseus is stated to have valued her friendship enough to love her "but not in the way he wants her to."
The way she chose to express her love is definitely screwed up, but that’s what she thinks love is. She never had another way of knowing what love could be. She was her own teacher in everything so how else could she have known? In the end she’s just another confused casualty. (Despite that, I really wish we had more stories about her specifically)
I will never and I mean NEVER feel bad for her , ik what she's been through but same goes for Odysseus, feeling alone isn't an excuse for what she did to him , and i will hate her my whole life, if she doesn't have any haters know that I died, great art btw
Agreed Odysseus was screaming and crying and breaking down over his trauma and being trapped there, and she was like "I love you" stfu that's not love, that's possession
Ikr, as far as I'm concerned there's no significant differences between this and those guys who lock women in their basement for years. I'm sure many of them are convinced they love their victims too. But with a male victim and female perpetrator people tend to downplay how bad her actions are.
Wasn't she kinda alone for a long time tho that she didn't even know what love was like and thought that odysseus was her blessing and hers to keep Not that is an excuse but I just wish she was entitled for keeping him
@@lynthepanda it shouldn't take much to understand "no", "hell no", and "not till the end of time". I understand that she didn't live in a culture with a prominent concept of consent, but how fucked up in the head do you have to be to naturally just ignore a litany of clear and unambiguous "I don't want you, I love my wife, I would do anything in the world to return to her and I will never be yours" because he was fucking CLEAR about that
Oh my goodness! I absolute adore this animatic! It is so beautiful drawn, and the music that played, is just amazing. I cannot not put into words how much I love this! Keep up doing the amazing work :)
They're confusing Epic Calypso with other versions of her. And thinking even though Jorge has changed a million other things to his version of the story, he definitely intended on Calypso to be a sexually assaulting monster to Odysseus
Waitttttt I actually hit 100k on a video?? Never thought I'd ever have a video with this many views. Words can't describe my gratitude, but thanks so much y'all

Truthfully, I don’t think Calypso understood how to truly love someone. She thought making love to him and pushing/convincing him to love you is love, little did she know it’s manipulation and made Ody have suicidal thoughts. You can’t make someone love you,
consent and respect is a big factor in loving someone.
Remember if this was a guy trying to push a woman to making love to her it’s rape and harassment, flip the gender around with Calypso and Ody still the same thing
Very true

She's been stuck isolated in the island for longer than the history of humanity. And after Oddy leaves. She's back to being alone.
No because in Greek Mythology she has odys twin sons.
@@vladimirmaxwellurestiluna7379 not in the original epos homer wrote so that sup to debate the first mentioning of her having sons with ody is about 500 years after homer did bite it.
You can really tell how much Odysseus feels bad for Calypso, even though she's practically kept him prisoner in hopes he might feel the same way (which is pretty screwed up). He actually does seem to be trying to let her down gently (then again he might just be trying not to anger her cause she's an all power goddess and all).
Anyway their story just proves you can't force romantic love nor are entitled to someone's, especially in the Odyssey when she tries to bribe Odysseus with immortality and he still chooses the possibility of being with Penelope again.
Sorry Calypso he loves Penelope too much, he'd take her over immortality anyday.
Compared to what a lot of Greek gods were like, calypso is very easy to sympathize with. What she did was pretty awful, but most of the gods motives were super petty for their actions. I think desperation for companionship is a lot better than every time Zeus couldn’t keep it in his pants
@@gameb9oy oh I know, Calypso's action are far from the worst thing the Gods have done. And it is hard not to feel bad for her, but while her past and loneliness explain her actions they do not necessarily excuse them.
Though props to her for letting Odysseus go (sort of... without a fight at least) I guess. And in a way she did care (arguments can be made about the love part. Because being love means knowing you're not entitled to someone else's and you can't to force it, in the end it's better to let them go because you want them to be happy) about Odysseus as she did keep him alive (albeit probably for her own benefit) and well I guess. I am trying to be optimistic here.
But anyway, Calypso definitely is better than some gods (*cough* Zeus *cough*).
I thought Calypso was a nymph but I feel so bad for her in this situation because Odysseus doesn’t feel the same way
@@iliketea1427She's only better than Zeus in the sense that she's only raped one person. That we know of.
@@nevaehgriffin1668Calypso was actually a nymph indeed. Her mother is an ocean nymph and her father a titan. She ruled over the island she lived, and infact she didn't live alone like the musical says, but she lived with others nymphs there. And she kept Odysseus prisoner for 7 years.He was miserable and crying and she had sexual interactions with him but without him wanting.Then Athena request from her father to order Calypso to finally let Odysseus free.
"What am I supposed to do with this love for you?" Hit me so damn hard. You really don't know what to do with it when the person it's all for won't accept it
or they die suddenly
Its not about Accepting. It's about giving it back and enjoying it.
@@yoshidollface what.... She held him hostage, abused him, Stockholmed him, raped him. Forced him to have kids with her. Were you even listening to the song? And then she says "I'm not sorry for loving you." Like, bitch, you tortured him for 7 years. That's not love. She was straight up evil. That's why her 2 son's with him have names that sound like Nauseous. He probably wanted to throw up with what she did to him.
“I have a wife.”
“She’s not here.”
“Yes she is. She’s in my heart and my mind, she’s in my dreams every night.”
-Not really specific to Calypso, just popped in my head
Love this song and animatic btw 💖
Amazing work thank you so much for this animatic I love it
Then Circe came, and suddenly Penelope gone
@osirisshadoll4572 can't she like.. Cupid you? Like MAKE you feel in love? Calypso doesn't have powers for love. Yet circe does - so..
@@joseykate8510 he slept with both of them in the myths. The musical is doing it's own take on it, though, which is cool.
@@osirisshadoll4572 That wasnt Odysseus's choice, Circe was holding the lives of his friends over his head. Either he slept with her or she ate his men. It is also unlikely he would have made it out alive himself if he didn't go through with it, or in the case of the musical, if she didnt show him sympathy.
@@geekasauruswreks8789Odysseus was forced into sleeping with them on both occasions, at least in the version I've heard of. Circe made him choose between the lives of his men, and sleeping with her. It is also likley he would not have made it out alive himself if he did not sleep with her. In Calypso's case, Odysseus spent every day of his seven year stay crying on the beach, thinking of his wife. Calypso forced the intercourse between the two.
Imagine one day you'll be listening a full official version of this song and it will be even more incredible and TWICE HEARTBREAKING
I know, right?! I kinda wish Jorge would show a little more of the song now. I'm sure it's, by no means, anywhere near done, but I want more snippets. 🤣
@@carlycchapmanits in the next saga so we dont gotta wait for long

@@sebaredghost9068Fun fact, but I was actually doing an animatic for 'Love in Paradise' before this one! Sadly, I couldn't produce something I felt was original, especially when there were already so many amazing animatics out there. So I've put it on hold for the time being. But considering the positive reception this video has gotten, it's definitely something I'll consider once my day job calms down a little!
man I cant find the original chanel, do you have the name?
Sorry for my confusion, but the original channel for what?@@ruygonzalezorozco4372
I backup on the “I hate that I fell in love with you” is so powerful
I feel so bad for Calypso confusion at the end. She's spent a lifetime alone on an island, she can't possibly comprehend a love outside of romance. Meanwhile he did love her, but more how you love a fantastic friend. But she can't comprehend it
Glad she ended up with Leo in Heroes of Olympus
Or even a kid
@@vismaykedilaya1318CALEO FOR LIFE
@@BlueCookies1116 personally, I think calypso definitely could’ve been released from the island, but I don’t think calypso and Leo are a good match, I can definitely understand the reasoning for shipping them and respect the ship but I just don’t think it’s a good ship
I think it’s less that she can’t comprehend it, more that she sees romantic love as the ultimate love and has never been given any sort of love at all. The fact that her first love is unrequited, even if there is platonic love, makes her feel inadequate. It makes her feel like she’ll never find love, and like she doesn’t deserve it (even if she knows he loves her.)
(I relate to this song so badly. Yes I am venting.)
I always feel so sorry for caly. Trapped on an island alone forever just because her dad's a titan. Hoebag gods.
💀💀💀
so it's Zeus,Hades,Hera and posaidon's dad,and theirs was a bit more unhinged
I feel sorry for her until I remember that she rapes Odysseus
@elizabethlee5557 she doesnt
In epic its up for debate in the odyssey
Hold up…AIN’T ALL THEIR DAD’S TITANS?!
I'm here right after the Wisdom Saga, ready for rerererelistening this song and having another breakdown (:
Do you know where the song is? I couldn’t find it 🤔
@@TLITMGit’s not out yet
bro that interpretation upon the change of chorus and tone, IS GONNA KILL ME😭😭😭im cryingg how dare, the tiktok duet was one interpretation where after odysseus says 'not the way u want me to' calypso immediately just get angry with him with 'i hate that i fell for u', this made much more sense that oddyseus was taken away before she said the line and indicating not true hatred for him but FOR THE WAY she loved him becuz at this point he was gone
I’m not sorry for loving u… “ colipso” “let me speak!!!”
Imagine loving someone so much only to find out that they don’t love you the same way.
Real.
she is far more extreme in the original story, i like this version better
Don't have to imagine, unfortunately. Tis why this song hits so hard for me ❤
That's called being a jealous b he had a wife.
@@cookieaddict5956 she is also cursed with love. Any man who comes to her island (which is already hidden away from everyone, basically) she will fall in love with. Old Greek stories were fucked up
I can only imagine how lonely calypso must feel, especially after ody leaves. Imagine finally getting to have human contact then it get striped away again
His years spent on there Vs the years she spent alone again and again since Odysseus isn't the first to be on her island (atleast I think) Is just sad. I know he wants to go home but she doesn't understand since she lives here life on a damn lonely island
Fr especially as someone who experienced a small fraction of that in a long distance relationship (and my first ever physical one) where you finally get to be with them, only to have to say goodbye after spending every single moment with them for months and missing them. It's twice as hard to deal with loneliness after experiencing what it's like not to be alone anymore. My body would react to someone walking beside me by automatically taking their hand before i even realized what i was doing-
No matter the version of the story Calypso's left heartbroken whether Odysseus remains faithful to Penelope or not. These two songs in EPIC are my favorite. Hands down. Even in comparison to the entirety of the Cyclops saga. My close second is This Life is Amazing.
You did a good job with the audio! It's surprisingly clear, I hope you do another animatic once the official Calypso saga is released!
EXCUSE ME
it’s illegal to be this underrated
AGREED.
I would call the cops, But I don’t have the guts. Your too good.😢

My heart literally broke into a million pieces every time she smiled through her tears.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go lie on the floor and cry for the next few days, thank you.

It kills me..this is so beautiful, but the “if” as though she didn’t force this man against his will for the last seven years😭
This song makes me feels so sad for Calypso. I understand her cuz one of my biggest fears is living Someone and that love being too much and pushing them away. Beautiful animatic❤
I wonder if there's anything behind the fact that Calypso's apologies are not good apologies. They're all saying I'm sorry if YOU reacted this way or I'm sorry if I was too much for YOU. Like the phrasing puts the blame on Odysseus for the issue at hand. Idk maybe I'm reading too much into it.
No, I don't think you're reading too much into it. Her apology sounds gaslighting.
same qnd I'm kinda sad (as I've heard from other fans) that Jorge took away the borderline rape cuz ..you can have interesting characters and unreliable narrators even like that
In her defense she has had like no interaction with the outside world or other people so she was raised as a goddess and assumed if somthing arrived on her island it was hers by fate
@@Unknown-fb3hjthere are animators keeping it loyal to the source.
That ‘apology’ wasn’t even an apology. If it is then it’s the most victim blamey apology I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard some shitty apology

She kills herself a bit after he leaves soo... probably not.
Unlikely since "Goddesses can't die." A line Calypso said in the last song. Also even if she wasn't a goddess the island she lives on makes everyone on it immortal so she couldn't kill herself even if she tried.

Again, sorry that the audio at 2:23 drops in quality - the clearest audio I could find when splicing was from the Goodspeed Festival, which had an open environment.

I genuinely think it sounds really good. Almost like it was purposeful. Like a ghostly shell of a person singing the song.
This is amazing 😍
“And why in the world would you love me too?” Hits so hard when you know about her curse and how it’s not her fault
begging on my knees to Percy Jackson fans to PLEASE bother to learn what parts were added by Rick Riordan.
there is no absolving her of her guilt, in epic or odyssey canon.
@@cf0e3 While true, I will say that at least she took him leaving like a champ. I know she didn't have a choice, but she could've easily just been like "nah, do it on your own." Luckily she really did love him so she gave him everything he'd need to get back home. I think she fit well for what she was meant for (to show when love is overtaken by something like pride) and, while she was pretty bad (won't excuse anything), at least she wasn't trying to do it just to fuck with Ody. Doesn't absolve her or anything, but man can people relate to unrequited love... Even if it did lead to such horrible acts.
Hot take that epic's calypso is the best version of calypso ever 🥰

Now she knows what it feels like and knows she'll never have it again. 😢

@@Perc4beth3dits up to interpretation I love many characters named will :]
I just wanna say, she was banished here after the Titan war. She supported her parent. As a result she was cursed here, if she left she'd become mortal (and with the island so far from any others she wouldn't survive) when Odyssesus arrives he cries every day for Penelope. When Zeus forces her to allow him to go some myths say she has his twins, others say she followed 💀 herself as a result. This animation adds to that heartbreak so well ❤ honestly gorgeous ❤❤❤
I actually found your comment on the compilation, so I checked out your channel and left a previous comment, but I guess youtube knew I've been stalking your channel in hopes you followed through with the promise of you making this, and recommended me this 😂😂 you crushed this ! Very well done !

Beautiful work regardless.
same, man. it feels painful and cathartic at the same time
Love this. The flowers glowing with her passion and Odysseus trying his best to be kind to her feelings but unwavering. I really feel for Calypso and the animation really blended well with the emotional depth of the song. I'm smiling and feeling like bursting into tears at the same time. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🥹
Personally, I don't exactly like how they tried to make calipso sympathetic. In the original story, Odessias kept rejecting her but she still slept with him every night, which just to be clear, means she kept graping him every night for seven years. I understand she is a goddess who lived in a world where indulging in this kind of behavior was not seen as a big deal, but there should be no expectation placed on her victim to forgive her or let her down gently. He is still a man who went through hell to get back to his wife and remained faithful to her, despite getting a vague prophecy about her finding another man from Tiresias mind you, meaning this type of intimacy is something sacred to him. Yet this woman completely ignored his wants and his pleading for her to stop. If it's honestly that hard to sympathize with the victim here just switch the genders. If a male god forced himself on a mortal woman for seven years because he "loved" her despite her telling him no and being married and trying for over a decade at this point to get back home to her husband and son, how would that look?
That would look like zeus probably.
I know this is a month old but Jorge probably removed that aspect of the story (Her graping Ody) like he did with Circe
I mean, EPIC isnt a 1:1 retelling of The Odyssey. Jorge probably took that aspect out- This Calypso alluded to it but she probably tried to make him comfrotable and kept distance.
Yeah yeah, acknowledge to source material and all that but like stated, EPIC isnt a 1:1 retelling.
@@-drxxms-dxlight yeah I get that, but rape with male victims and female rapists isn't really depicted or talked about in media. I mean, rape I get real isn't talked about much and if it is it's not really portrayed as it should be. But this musical already alludes to rape twice (zeus and antinous kinda umplying raping a woman in their songs) so it doesn't really shy away from that subject matter, so, why not also address what Odessias went through? That's what I don't get.
@@cantthinkofaname5234 Because it's not the story it's trying to tell.
Its sad for both parties involved. She was casted away by Zeus to this island and cursed to where if ANYONE were to stumble upon it, she would fall madly in love with them. She literally loves him due to a curse which is so sad. Poor Odysseus just wants to get home and chooses Penelope over immortality and staying with Calypso.
Pretty sure that's just the Percy Jackson interpretation.
She wasn't cursed. She fell in love with him due to the long isolation and Odysseus's overall quality. His looks, personality and charisma play it's part.
That’s only from Percy Jackson
The curse is a PJO original
Idc how ‘sad’ Calypso story is cus she 🍇ed Odysseus multiple times (obviously against his will) and I’m pretty sure it says in the odyssey that he cried ever night on her island cus he just wanted to get back to his wifey:( idc how much trama she has nothing excuses 🍇 if Odysseus did that we’d never hear the end of it (not saying it’s ok for him either btw!)
she didn't do that in epic though! so you can definitely feel bad for this iteration of her
the Epic iteration of Calypso and the actual Greek mythology Calypso are different! /nm
I am. Begging you to use the word rape. Or SA. Or literally anything other than a freaking _grape emoji._
@@jackierabbitshe still trapped him on her island for 7 whole ass years, either unaware or uncaring to the fact that she was making his mental worse and worse cuz he has nothing to do but stew in his trauma. Also Jorge changing her character like this just feels…SO iffy to me, like I get that she isn’t a r-pist and removing that is fine but making her sympathetic like this just, erases and invalidates the trauma Odysseus received from her
@@cyclone-studio18correct me if I’m wrong because I’m getting around to reading the Odyssey but doesn’t she not have a choice in the matter? Wouldn’t that be like blaming a captive that someone else becomes a captive in their prison?

That you're not mine to save.
And soon I won't get to see your face.
So I came by to say:
You're unlike anyone I have ever known.
Cause you're all I've ever known.
And if I pushed you
Or if I came on too strong
Or if I have pushed you
For that, I'll say I was wrong.
And if you hate me
Then I am sorry my love's too much for you.
But I'm not sorry for loving you
(I'm not sorry for loving you)
I'm not sorry for loving you
(I'm not sorry for loving you)
*Calypso*
Let me speak
I spent my whole life here
Was cast away when I was young
Alone for a hundred years
I had no friend but the skye and sun
So when you washed ashore
I thought for sure that you were my dream come true
I thought I knew
So if I pushed you
Or if I came on too strong
Or if I have pushed you
For that, I'll say I was wrong.
And if you hate me
Then I am sorry my love's too much for you.
But I'm not sorry for loving you
(I'm not sorry for loving you)
I'm not sorry for loving you
(I'm not sorry for loving you)
I'm not sorry-
I'm angry and tired and restless and sad
I'm stuck in the moments I swore that we had
I wish you would chase me or try to embrace me
For once I wish you would lie and say
*I love you*
You do?
*but not in the way that you want me to*
I hate that I fell in love with you
Why did I fall in love with you?
(Why did I fall in love with you?)
What do I do with this love for you?
How am I supposed to move on from you?
Why in the world won't you love me too?
God who else here read Percy Jackson as well and now are imagining her singing it to Percy as well….
Yes
This makes me cry so bad
I feel so bad for her. All she wanted was someone to love her.😭 She was the only God I felt bad for. At least her son loved her since her husband abandoned her. They never even let her find a new mate.
I truly feel sorry for Calypso. Her story is so sad I can't help but cry for her character.
Ok kids, we do not equate mind control to love. If someone says no and you do something against their will anyway or you make it so that have no choice but to do the thing they refused to do, then that is not love. A cute song that basically amounts to, "Sorry, not sorry, I kept you away from your family for seven years." Is icky on multiple levels. If she really loved him, she would have sent him on his way a very long time ago.
Full heartedly agreed!!! Her reasoning is explained, still doesn’t change the fact what she did is despicable, or that Odysseus owes her nothing like she seems to think he should in this song
I tried so hard to avoid Epic spoilers but this song is so beautiful and I couldnt resist and ugh this animation is so beautiful im ugly crying 😭😭😭❤
you are so underrated omg!! the flowers lighting up like they're background singers was an amazing touch omg!!
Calypso’s design is so cute I love it!!
I totally agree!
Thank you for this beautiful animatic. My heart really lacks Calypso animatics, and this one really shows her the same way I see her in my heart ;-; ♥

But he wasn't lying to Calypso he loves her like a very dear friend even though she kept him prisoner she kept him from unaliving himself due to the PTSD from the trauma all the way from Troy to Polymepheus Posideon Circe the Underworld Scylla mutiny and thunder bringer I think he was telling Calypso thank you for helping me love life so I can be with my wife and son
What is everyone saying here? Calypso rapes Odysseus for 7 YEARS. And people feel bad for her? With Circe, the consent is in question but with Calypso, it's non present.
Not every adaptation has Odysseus do anything with either. In Epic, during God Games, while trying to convince Hera, Athena makes the claim Odysseus, "Never once has he cheated on his wife". While SA wouldn't be considered cheating, ever, since it's not consensual, when taken in reference to the Gods, especially Hera who would regularly punish those who Zeus SAed, it's save to say the gods may view it differently (I don't agree with them, I can't stress this enough). I think it's safe to say in this adaptation, that didn't happen.
She did keep him trapped on the island, and continued to pester him, but it's never shown she passed any boundary and Odysseus is stated to have valued her friendship enough to love her "but not in the way he wants her to."
The way she chose to express her love is definitely screwed up, but that’s what she thinks love is. She never had another way of knowing what love could be. She was her own teacher in everything so how else could she have known? In the end she’s just another confused casualty. (Despite that, I really wish we had more stories about her specifically)
...why does this hurt?!
I will never and I mean NEVER feel bad for her , ik what she's been through but same goes for Odysseus, feeling alone isn't an excuse for what she did to him , and i will hate her my whole life, if she doesn't have any haters know that I died, great art btw
Agreed
Odysseus was screaming and crying and breaking down over his trauma and being trapped there, and she was like "I love you" stfu that's not love, that's possession
Ikr, as far as I'm concerned there's no significant differences between this and those guys who lock women in their basement for years. I'm sure many of them are convinced they love their victims too. But with a male victim and female perpetrator people tend to downplay how bad her actions are.
That makes 4 of us, friend
Wasn't she kinda alone for a long time tho that she didn't even know what love was like and thought that odysseus was her blessing and hers to keep
Not that is an excuse but I just wish she was entitled for keeping him
@@lynthepanda it shouldn't take much to understand "no", "hell no", and "not till the end of time". I understand that she didn't live in a culture with a prominent concept of consent, but how fucked up in the head do you have to be to naturally just ignore a litany of clear and unambiguous "I don't want you, I love my wife, I would do anything in the world to return to her and I will never be yours" because he was fucking CLEAR about that
This is now my favorite animatic of this song.
It’s.. so beautiful and the way the flowers in the back glowing when the chorus sings it’s outstanding :’)
Oh my goodness!
I absolute adore this animatic!
It is so beautiful drawn, and the music that played, is just amazing.
I cannot not put into words how much I love this!
Keep up doing the amazing work :)
A Few centuries later she'll fall in love with a Pirate that will give her his heart. His Name, Davy Jones.
That's my headcanon too.
As a hopeless romantic. This song breaks me.
song was so beautiful and hit sooo close to home I started literally sobbing. My sister woke up and looked at me like I'm crazy
That last "what do I do with this love for you?" hurts a lot considering that she unalives herself after he leaves.
2:04 something about this is so heartbreaking to me
Please give her a happy ending! Rewrite history, I dont care, just give her someone who can love her back!!
😭🙏
Have you heard of Precy Jackson
Came straight from Love in Paradise. Calypso there exists no universe in which I'm not a hater.
I can't stop watching this it's so beautiful 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Uh! What is the difference between a guilt trip and being honest! I cant tell which she is doing!.
Amazing animatic, but is anyone else just making calypso an automatic op cuz they love penelope sm? Or is it just me
They're confusing Epic Calypso with other versions of her. And thinking even though Jorge has changed a million other things to his version of the story, he definitely intended on Calypso to be a sexually assaulting monster to Odysseus
i love how u made her look the same as her VA, the hair looks great ❤
Did calypso become heartless towards Davy jones becuz her heart belonged 2 a married man???....
Because she saw story repeat. She saw a man who wanted equality in the relationship, and she refuses to give it to him, because "It's her nature.".
Hey, In Greece, Gods and Goddesses actually cry Gold. 😉
Waitttttt I actually hit 100k on a video?? Never thought I'd ever have a video with this many views. Words can't describe my gratitude, but thanks so much y'all
I hate you calypso but you're too real for this.
Your design for Calypso is absolutely adorable and this animatic is just...so sad. Lovely job!
This is stunning!! The art and music are so lovely, oml
It’s sad because in the myths she never does find love
Then the next song hermes is just "hahahahahahaha dangerous"
I'd be trapped with Calypso on that island if I had the choice to. I feel so bad for her
