Summary
Ten nights after his father returns, Telemachus lays in bed for a long time, the moonlight creeps in his window and he can hear the faintest sound of wind over the waves.
If he tricks himself, he can convince himself that he’s unable to hear the singing coming from down the hall. It’s his mother, there’s no doubt. The song isn’t Ithacan, but Spartan. And it’s the same song she used to sing to him when he was younger and scared of monsters under the bed or when he was older and nursing a black eye from the suitors.

Summary
Since Odysseus washed up on her island, Calypso has come to know his moods: seldom without sorrow, and terrible, terrible, grief. In seven years, she didn’t remember a single day devoid of tears - and after he was long gone, whenever he crossed her thoughts, the image her mind would conjure was that of a weary, tear-streaked face, begging. Always begging; to be let go, to make everything disappear, to die. All she wanted in those days was a smile, if only for a moment — but, in all that time, it happened only once — and after that, it was Calypso herself who never smiled.

Odysseus's seven years on the island, getting progressively more depressing.
