Odysseus is held captive by the nymph Calypso on her island, Ogygia, after the Trojan War. She falls in love with him and offers him immortality if he stays with her, but Odysseus longs to return to his home in Ithaca and reunite with his wife, Penelope. His captivity symbolizes the struggle between desire and duty, as he is torn between Calypso's love and his responsibilities. Ultimately, the gods intervene, leading to his eventual release.
