Immortality/Eternal Life.
He sleeps with Calypso, But when he wakes up, he thinks only of Penelope.
Zeus destroys Odysseus' ship in punishment for killing the sacred Cattle of Helios. Odysseus is the only man to survive the storm, washing up on Ogygia, where he is found by Calypso, who nurses him back to health.
Odysseus has been on Calypso's island, Ogygia, for so long because he is held captive by the nymph Calypso, who has fallen in love with him and wants him to stay as her companion. Despite his longing to return home to Ithaca and his wife, Penelope, the gods have intervened, allowing Calypso to keep him for several years. Ultimately, it is only after the intervention of Hermes, sent by Zeus, that Calypso is compelled to release Odysseus.
Odysseus uses flattery on Calypso's island by complimenting her over his wife Penelope. He makes her believe that the only reason he wants to be back home is because of Nostos, or homesickness. He bluntly states that Calypso is more beautiful and so on.
Odysseus was saved by Calypso when he washed on her island. They become lovers, and sleep together for seven years. However, Odysseus yearns to return home. Calypso offers Odysseus eternal life and youth if would stay with her on her island, but Odysseus declines, longing for his wife Penelope and his home of Ithaca.
After his men disobeyed his orders and killed and ate Helio's sheep, Zeus punished them by destroying their ship, leaving only Odysseus as Survivor. After drifting in the sea awhile, he came to the island which was owned by the nymph, Calypso. He and Calypso engaged in a seven-year long love affair, until he was permitted to build a ship and head home.
Poseidon, Calypso, and Zeus (only for throwing a lightning bolt at his whole crew after they disobeyed and ate the cattle of the sun)
..................... :) Cyclops, Scylla, circle and calypso. If you can count them. And also hunbi in Book 9. Although hunbi is only a small part.
Calypso -The external conflict with Calypso is when she was having an affair with the married Odysseus and she wanted him for herself. The resolution came when Athena begged Zeus to allow Calypso to free Odysseus. And it worked. Lotus Eaters -The external conflict was when the Lotus Eaters refused to go home because of their addictions to the Lotus plants. The resolution came when Odysseus tricked the Lotus Eaters to go home by placing all the Lotus plants on the ship. Cyclops -The external conflict was when Odysseus and his men wandered into the cave and then the Cyclops came and blocked the only entrance/exit with giant boulder. The resolution came when the Cyclops was about to eat Odysseus and his men and then Odysseus blinded him and then hid in the wool of the Cyclops' sheep and escaped. Alive. Circe -The external conflict was when Circe transformed Odysseus's men into pigs when he lands on her island. The resolution came with Hermes' help. Odysseus resists Circe's powers and then becomes her lover, living in luxury at her side for a year. Sirens: Scylla and Charybdis -The external conflict was Sirens lured sailors to their death. They would persuade them in and kill them. The resolution was Odysseus made earplugs for his men and had them tie them up.
Odysseus does not take part in the killing of the cattle of the sun, only his crew members do. Therefore, while his ship is destroyed and his crew killed, as prophecised he survives by hanging on to a tree branch to avoid the whirlpool.
