In the Odyssey, she keeps Odysseus on her island and refuses to let him carry on with his travels home to ithaca. This all happens in book 5, and Ogygia (were Calypso lives) is in fact the first place we see Odysseus within the Odyssey. After an assembly by the Gods, Hermes (the Gods messenger) informs Calypso she must let Odysseus go, and then she informs Odysseus to craft a raft in order to leave the island. IN OTHER WORDS- she wasn't a godess at all.

In the famous description of Calypso's home in Homer's Odyssey, one would see a beautiful island paradise with lush vegetation, exotic flowers, and a stunning beach. The sounds one might hear include the gentle lapping of waves, the singing of birds, and the rustling of leaves. The feeling would be one of tranquility and peace, with warm sunlight and a gentle breeze in the air. The scent in the air would likely be that of salty sea air mixed with the fragrance of tropical flowers.
