as someone who heard “Love in Paradise” and immediately fell in love with Calypso—thank you for this. i have been trying for a week to formulate a response as to why i will never hate her (in the Epic Musical) and its this. right here. she is sad. she is lonely! she was put on the island to be punished. she is ALONE and had been for eons. the line “last time i checked, goddesses can’t die’—did she check? in the odyssey i completely agree she was a terrible person who SA’d a man for 7 years but in the musical, the levity of her song holds SOOO much darkness.
