Calypso (4:12)
58,483 plays (22,838 listeners)
A folksy, mystical rendition about Calypso, the nymph who wanted to keep Odysseus from leaving her. He was on his way back to Ithica from Troy, where he helped the Greeks defeat the Trojans. He was on Calypso’s island for seven years before Zeus ordered Calypso to free him. She, however, tried to take credit for allowing him to go.

Suzanne Vega performing Calypso at the Appel Farm Folk Festival, June 7, 2008. My apologies for the family at the end who couldn't wait 10 more seconds for the song to end.

Brilliant! I love how she provides us with Calypso's point of view. I love when artists reinterpret or provide a different perspective of a famous work of art, film, song, or piece of literature.
