Calypso is the beautiful Goddess-nymph who keeps Odysseus on her island for seven years. She lives on the island of Ogygia and appears in book 5 of Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey. She does not wish to let Odysseus go, but is told she had to after the second assembly of the Gods at the beginning of book 5. Hermes (the messenger god) informs Calypso what she must do. She also advises Odysseus on crafting a raft so that he can be on his way.

Odyssey, or Odysseus in Greek mythology, was initially trapped on Calypso's island, Ogygia, where the nymph Calypso kept him for several years, desiring him as her companion. According to the epic "The Odyssey," the god Hermes was sent by Zeus to command Calypso to let Odysseus go. Calypso reluctantly agreed and provided Odysseus with materials to build a raft, allowing him to set sail for Ithaca, his homeland. Thus, he departed the island with the hope of returning to his family and kingdom.
