A good point. Odysseus first rejects immortality with a beautiful sex-crazed goddess (Calypso) and then a comfortable life in Phaeacian Utopia married to the local virgin princess. These episodes emphasize Odysseus’ determination to get back home; he will not get distracted, no matter what.
By the way, I think that there is more humor in the Calypso episode than is usually recognized. If the Odyssey itself is to be taken as reliable evidence, these poems were told in banquets by men to a predominantly male audience. It seems to me that in the macho culture that Ancient Greece must have been, the sexy goddess who just couldn’t get enough of Odysseus was meant to be funny. But I digress.
