Calypso is the beautiful Goddess-nymph who keeps Odysseus on her island for seven years. She lives on the island of Ogygia and appears in book 5 of Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey. She does not wish to let Odysseus go, but is told she had to after the second assembly of the Gods at the beginning of book 5. Hermes (the messenger god) informs Calypso what she must do. She also advises Odysseus on crafting a raft so that he can be on his way.
