Line 49:
Calypso bids Odysseus farewell before he leaves Ogygia, expressing remorse for the pain she caused him in her obsessive behavior, but declaring that she is not sorry for the love she feels towards him ("Not Sorry For Loving You"). Hermes appears once again, offering guidance and Aeolus's wind bag to help Odysseus return home on a hand-made raft ("Dangerous"). Odysseus evades the sea monster [[Charybdis]] before seeing the shores of Ithaca, where he encounters Poseidon again ("Charybdis"). Poseidon gives Odysseus the ultimatum of either choosing to drown or watching all of Ithaca be submerged in a tidal wave. Odysseus is dragged to the bottom of the ocean ("Get in the Water"), but opens the wind bag one final time to fight back, striking Poseidon six hundred times in retribution for his six hundred dead comrades. Poseidon tells Odysseus that by opening the wind bag, he released Poseidon's storm, meaning that he has destroyed his last chance of returning home. Odysseus begins to torture Poseidon by repeatedly stabbing him with [[Trident of Poseidon|his own trident]], forcing him to relent and call off the storm ("Six Hundred Strike").
