by Christopher Kininmonth
When Christopher Kininmonth lived on Gozo, the small island near Malta, he came to inhabit a cottage overlooking the beach, known as Villa Calypso. Speaking not as a student but as an amateur of classical studies, Mr. Kininmonth considers the neolithic remains on the island and speculates as to who Homer's Calypso * of the golden voice really was.
