In Book five calypso says to Odysseus "My every impulse bends to what is right. Not iron, trust me, the heart within my breast. I am all compassion." Odysseus, however, does not share Calypso's same feelings; in fact, one of the main goals of Odysseus' journey is to be reunited with his beautiful wife, Penelope.

After the Trojan War, Calypso found Odysseus on the beach, and she hospitalized him. During this period of time, she fell in love with him and kept him on her island for 7 years until Hermes came to release him. Before he sailed away, she said, "And I’ll raise a following wind, so you reach home safely, if that is the will of the gods who rule the wide heavens, since they have more power than I to fulfil their purpose".]]> 2022-12-19 19:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/smbaldree100/6a6c3hqkg394yznw/wish/2425124384 smbaldree100 https://padlet.com/smbaldree100/6a6c3hqkg394yznw/wish/2425130717 2022-12-19 19:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/smbaldree100/6a6c3hqkg394yznw/wish/2425130717 smbaldree100 https://padlet.com/smbaldree100/6a6c3hqkg394yznw/wish/2425132561 2022-12-19 19:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/smbaldree100/6a6c3hqkg394yznw/wish/2425132561 smbaldree100 https://padlet.com/smbaldree100/6a6c3hqkg394yznw/wish/2425136895 2022-12-19 19:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/smbaldree100/6a6c3hqkg394yznw/wish/2425136895 Cited sources hgnguyen110 https://padlet.com/smbaldree100/6a6c3hqkg394yznw/wish/2425146119 Entry One: “Homer: The Odyssey.” Homer (C.750 BC) - The Odyssey: Book V,  https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Greek/Odyssey5.php#:~:text=BkV%3A148%2D191%20Calypso%20promises%20to%20free%20Odysseus,With%20this%20the&text=He%20was%20forced%20to%20sleep,eyes%20at%20the%20restless%20sea.

Calypso can see it when he tries to escape her island. During this moment, she forbids him from doing so because she falls in love with him. Until Hermes comes, he is finally free from her, and although she sets him free for the gods, she also has to face her love for him. At that moment, she shows her character development as she tries to relieve her heart.]]> 2022-12-20 18:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/smbaldree100/6a6c3hqkg394yznw/wish/2426037694
