@Maysie: Yes but Calypso doesn't know that. She knows that Percy asked the Gods to free her, which they said they would. But he never followed it through, he never cared enough about her to make sure she was actually freed. I love Percy and totally understand his side of things, he had a lot more stuff going on than thinking about Calypso, he's tried to do well by so many people it's unfair to think he should remember them all and follow up on them all. It's sort of a running theme with Percy though, forgetting about people. Nico mentioned it, Bob is a good example too. But I totally get why and I don't blame him.

But for Calypso, this is her life and it's all she has, she's alone on an island and has been for thousands of years. She's tempted with the idea that she might be freed only for nothing to ever come of it. After going so long thinking she had no other options than to settle for her fate, to have that temptation and then have it taken away again can't be easy. To her, Percy was just one hero in a long list of heroes who had left her island and forgotten all about her.

@Himeyuka. Wow you are quite a rude person you know, I'm glad you're finished with this 'conversation' because to be honest I'd rather have discussions with people who don't feel the need to try to make others feel like crap just for having a different opinion. I never said Leo was a selfless hero, I'm not satisfied with his characterisation in BOO either and never said I was. The book ends when they leave the island. No matter how much you want your ideas about what happens after to be true, they are no more valid than mine because the truth is it's just not in the books. Your opinions and ideas are not fact, and talking to people like they're trash just because they have a different take on what may happen after the books finish doesn't exactly make for rational and interesting discussion about things.
