Odysseus quickly dismisses Calypso's offer of immortality because, despite the allure of eternal life, he yearns for the mortal experiences and connections he has left behind, particularly his longing for home and family. He values his humanity and the inevitability of death as an essential part of life's richness. Furthermore, his desire to return to Ithaca and reunite with Penelope drives him to prioritize his mortal existence over a life of isolation with Calypso. Ultimately, Odysseus's commitment to his identity and personal relationships outweighs the temptation of immortality.
