Within the world of The Odyssey, Calypso is one of the daughters of Atlas, the titan who holds the world. She is a nymph-goddess who lives on the island of Ogygia, who eventually falls in love with Odysseus. The Theoi Project describes Calypso as, “[A] nymph inhabiting the island of Ogygia, on the coast of which Odysseus was thrown when he was shipwrecked. Calypso loved the unfortunate hero” (Theoi). Most of the mythology surrounding Calypso comes from The Odyssey alone.

Calypso and the island of Ogygia function similar to a prison in the sense that they exist to keep Odysseus captive. After Odysseus crashes on Ogygia, Calypso quickly falls in love and treats him very well; she promises immortality and eternal youth to captivate Odysseus. After seven long years held captive, Zeus ordered Calypso to set Odysseus free, which she follows unwillingly. The website Mythica states, “Finally Athena complained of Odysseus' plight to Zeus, and Zeus sent Hermes to Ogygia to order Calypso to set Odysseus free. Calypso complied reluctantly” (Hunter). During their time together, they have three children: Nausithoos, Telegonos, and Latinos.

While being the Greek nymph goddess known for her strange power and beauty, Calypso represents feminism. When Odysseus finds himself trapped on the island of Ogygia with Calypso, Zues eventually orders her to release him. However, Calypso argues the biased ideas that make it okay for a male God to pursue an mortal, but not the females. Either way, Odyssues is released.
