Odysseus never received the gift of immortality from Calypso because he longed to return home to Ithaca and reunite with his wife, Penelope. Despite being offered eternal life and happiness, his desire for his homeland and familial bonds ultimately prevailed. Additionally, the intervention of the gods, particularly Athena and Hermes, emphasized the importance of his journey and destiny, steering him back to his mortal life.
