Calypso
Calypso
Odysseus stays with Calypso [The Hider] on Ogygia for seven years.
Penelope was Odysseus' wife, and Calypso and Circewere Odysseus' lovers.
She tried
Hermes delivered a message from Zeus to Calypso, instructing her to release Odysseus from her island and let him continue his journey back home to Ithaca. Zeus ordered this in response to pleas from Athena and the other gods.
The god holding Odysseus on the island is Zeus. Zeus got angry at Odysseus and his men for eating the CATTLE of the sun god, Helios. Odysseus didn't eat the cattle, though. He survived, but his men (or crew) didn't. They died. They Odysseus floated to Calypso's island, Ogygia. Calypso loved Odysseus. They got a little "busy", but Odysseus still loved Penelope. Athena begged Zeus to make Calypso release Odysseus, since Calypso was trapping Odysseus on Ogygia. Zeus told Hermes (god messenger) to tell Calypso to let Odysseus go. She got the message, and agreed to release Odysseus. Odysseus built a raft, but while traveling, Poseidon destroyed it, since Odysseus blinded his son, the Cyclops, Polyphemus.
