Best Answer

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. Her successful seduction of Odysseus, which made him forget all about his wife, stay there for years, and father their two children indicates she had more than just a sweet singing voice to offer.
