Calypso is a greek Goddess. She is the daughter of Atlas, also known as Atlantis. Calypso was trapped on an island called Ogygia for standing by her fathers side and suporting him during the Titanomachy. Calypso impersioned the Greek hero Odysseus on her island. She tried keeping him captive to make him an immortal husband of her own. For 7 years Odysseus was held captive with Calypso. Odysseus wanted to return home to his wife Penelope because he was inlove with her and was faithful to her. Yet Calypso (a sex goddess) kept him all to herself.

Since there was so much anguish with Odysseus, Athena asks Zeus to release Odysseus from Calypso's island. Zeus agrees with Athena and orders Calypso to release Odysseus. Hermes relayed th the message to Calypso and ordered Odysseus to go home. Even though she did not want him to leave because she grew on him.

In my opinion is that Calypso was a very sexual female but then again very selfish. She held a man captive that did not want to be there in the first place. Even though it sounds like a good place to stay, in reality its not. That is why Zeus order his release. Odysseus returned home to his family.
