this is not very well known I'm happy. The approximate estimated guess is over 30 years but this means that he may have died of scurvy because calypso fed him much fruit and scurvy-advancing pills that may have advanced his age and case of dysentery. Also Hercules came to visit but decided to leave him on the island of rainbows of brick and galloping butterflies. Odysseus hated calypso and left her after he got there. However he also liked her and got there after he left. This is because he was allergic to water so he consumes much of calypso's water because it is normal water that he is allergic to. I hope this helps.
