After Odysseus was washed ashore on the island of Ogygia as the sole survivor of a shipwreck, he was taken in by the nymph Calypso, a daughter of the Titan Atlas. Calypso fell in love with Odysseus and wanted to make him her rightful husband, promising him eternal youth and immortality. Despite the island's beauty and the goddess's love, Odysseus longed incessantly for his homeland of Ithaca and his wife, Penelope. Zeus sent the messenger god Hermes to Calypso, demanding that she let Odysseus go. Although angered by the Olympian gods' envy, she submitted to Zeus's will. She even helped Odysseus build a raft, providing him with tools, materials, and provisions for the journey.
Calypso offers Odysseus a life without aging. He still chooses the uncertain road home. Book 5 makes the choice feel personal: immortality on a beautiful island, or the difficult hope of seeing his family again. Which would be harder to give up?
