#to “Flirt” with Calypso. He was probably thinking of Penelope and what he'd say in order to be convincing.

"Odysseus learned how to woo Penelope from Circe-"

"Odysseus learned to trick Calypso from Circe-"

Y'all don't think this man has game?? Even if he is cringey and goofy and lovesick in the beginning of their courtship, he definitely eventually learns how to woo and flirt and tease Penelope. They have a CHILD together, Telemachus exists because Penelope LOVES Odysseus and his wooing. He does not need "help" after getting hitched to Penelope. He may have been using some of the very words that brought Telemachus into the world 20 years earlier.

The man is smart as fuck AND has married the coolest woman ever, he definitely did not need to "learn" how to flirt from Circe. Penelope is getting loved and wooed because of all the sappy stuff Odysseus pours for her from his own damn heart that's been beating for Penelope the whole entire time he's known her. He doesn't need to LEARN.
