And he hasn’t even met Calypso yet!
Great Video! But why are there several different versions of this story online? (in Wikipedia for example)

Thanks, so glad you enjoyed! That’s the nature of ancient myths-there wasn’t typically a “canonical” version of a lot of these stories, and authors were always adapting them in creative ways over the generations, putting their own twist on the old oral traditions. This version is based mostly on Homer’s Odyssey (with a couple of embellishments here and there). Later authors like Ovid had their own takes on the story and characters, too.
Well done.
