Ogygia was a beautiful island, according to the account of Homer. It's name is akin to the English word 'primeval'. As was the case with the Garden of Eden, Ogygia was beyond earthly beauty. It was home to the nymph, Calypso, who was the daughter of one of the great Titans, forerunners to the gods of Mt. Olympus.
Ogygia was home to beautiful fountains amid sweet smelling forests of cypress, poplar, juniper and other species. Accounts of its beauty are found in the Homer's work "The Odyssey". During his travels, Odysseus was said to have stayed on the island of Ogygia for seven years.
