Interesting response

As I was reading, I found the response Odysseus gives to being sent home very interesting. I thought it was quite surprising that he would refuse any opportunity to leave. When Calypso tells him he can go home, he just assumes she is plotting against him. As grieved as he was to be away from home for so long, I would think that he would jump at any chance to go home. Even though his making it wasn't certain, he was miserable enough that getting away should have seemed worth the attempt. I do have to give him credit for changing his mind rather quickly once Calypso promised not to harm him, though, no matter how hasty he was in his mistrust.
