My Calypso Costume

For my third Halloween costume I was inspired by The Odyssey that was in the theaters over the summer.

Calypso!

You understand how much I love the Classics–I almost majored in it in college (that’s a whole other story). How I loved Christopher Nolan’s rendition of Homer’s Odyssey.

The sequence between Odysseus and Calypso was especially impactful for me–we can all get trapped in a beautiful dream on our way home.

My inspiration was Ginés Serrán-Pagán’s “Calypso of Ceuta” statue in Spain–both in costume and in pose. I included a front and back pic of the statue so you can see my inspiration.

Hope you don’t mind my nerdiness too much. Hehe 🤓😘
