What Helen of Greece means and the rest of calypso

I feel lucid and inspired so I will interpret the story of Calypso.
The calypso dance is a sacred practice that has found a normal part in Caribbean culture. The word calypso comes from the native Carrib past now merged with the general population of the islands. Calypso is a witch or sorceress that calls herself a nymph. If you recall Hercules encounters Atlas who goes to get fruit from Hera's tree of life that is tended to by nymphs and protected by a dragon. Here a child of the empire of the atlans or Atlas offers the Greeks with Odysseus (Ulysses in latin) immortality. The first to arrive on this island passed through the central Atlantic waters which are known to be stormy. So Ulysses found himself with his fleet on the shores of a Caribbean island like Barbados which contained healing springs and beliefs in immortality as did the ancient atlanteans. The people of calypso offered immortality and Ulysses might have achieved immortality by marrying the Greeks with these island people but wisdom defended his case and he moved on after 7 years or an Adam program, jubilee to jubilee, solar week. Ulysses found himself west of the pillars of Gibraltar and thus intended to go in this direction. To be swept from troy which homers says is east of Ithaca to past the straights of Gibraltar without intentionally sailing past them is near impossible and very unlikely. So the poets added the sorrow of the ideas of storms sweeping them away as they disappeared for 7 years in the period just after the Trojan War.

To explain what had occurred. Greece was free and growing in power, vassal states began joining the just and righteous Paris who had fallen in love with the beauty that was Greece. He had married Helen of Greece. By his gift many Greeks joined the Trojans. He had stolen the wife or allies married to Greece through Helens husband, brother to Agamemnon, Menelaos, king of Sparta. However when they tried to leave the alliance and return to Greece many Trojans stopped them and put them into servitude, this led the Greeks to attack troy and free the people subjugated by the Trojans, Paris fled west to Trojan colonies in southern France then inland to where Paris is now. Freed of the fleet of the now fallen child of Minoa the Trojan empire the Greeks ventured once more outside the Mediterranean. The first journey by Ulysses was to the legendary lands in the west of Atlantis drawn from stories even before Hercules. Paris brought judgment down on the Trojans and caused them to disperse after troy was razed. After troy fell the free nations of Greece returned to their unity with Greece and The other vassal/allies of troy were explored by Ulysses and the other Greeks and each was made part of Greece and/or their culture and religion, including practices, were added to the religious practices of the ancient Greek universal perspective and way to the divine. Ulysses having succeeded in reaching high levels of transcendence including immortality, a databases and journey through Hades and bring peace to his land upon returning ended up remaining as a great tale of the period , which includes the gifts of the rituals that Ulysses and Greeks became exposed to that led to this epoch of their history.

Paris who got the fruit of life was a good and just person, he made Greeks love him and join him but when they tried leaving troy not Paris would not let them leave and in the end their actions caused Greece to defend itself and peoples sovereignty by attacking and razing troy. No real women was stolen rather it is a metaphor for losing allies and those affiliated with the Greeks as well as Greeks themselves to an empire they joined willingly but later were not allowed to make their own decisions including leaving the union. Thus they were treated unjustly.

So the Greeks once more make contact during Ulysses with the Americas. It seems every age does, from Vikings to Basque, to Egyptian, roman, Phoenician, Chinese, Japanese, Polynesian, to Hindu, to Muslim to Inuit to African, Russian and so on

Finally Helen of Greece’s mother Leda was nemesis daughter, Helen was Leda's and Zeus daughter, so Helen is a might woman of renowned because her mother is a just woman and deified prior to her birth, she represented all of Greece during this age. Thesseus tried winning her heart at one point as he tried becoming the soul leader of Greece after ousting the Minoans, yet had to return the then young Helen who later married Menelaos and into the ruling family of the mightiest noble rulers of then Greece.
