Asked by Wiki User

There are no details in the Odyssey that describe Calypso's physical appearance, but one might guess she was either very attractive, or could make herself appear very attractive.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Both really.

Our idea of what cavemen are comes from the finding of Neaderthal Man in Belgium in 1829. However, most of them weren't found in caves. Cave Art, however, shows that human ancestors and relatives lived in caves at least some of the time. It makes sense, really, since caves would have offered solid shelter from the elements and a place to socialize and gather.

Is paul bunyan a real person?

Asked by Wiki User

No. Paul Bunyan was not a real person. Whether Paul was fictitious remains a mystery.

There is no actual evidence whether Paul was really a lumberjack for a U.S.A. timber

company. Paul Bunyan was basically a famous mythological American hero and the

controversial theory that Bunyan did or did not live is still held accountable as

unsubstantiated.
