Besides a Goddess, Calypso is considered to be a temptation to Odysseus, which in some cases are true. He was willing to be with her for years, although his heart still longed to go back to Ithaca and be with his wife. Calypso is not exactly like the other obstacles/problems Odysseus faces, it is just that she basically prolonged his trip to return home to Ithaca.
