The sea nymph who detained Odysseus on the island of Ogygia.
Kalypso is the daughter of the Atlas; she was finally ordered by Zeus to allow Odysseus to leave the island and return to his home on Ithaka (Ithaca).
Hesiod says that she and Odysseus had two sons: Nausithoos and Nausinoos; later myths say that she and Odysseus had a son, Auson; her name might be translated as She Who Conceals.
For more information on Kalypso I suggest that you consult the Immortals section of this site.
