Calypso is a nymph who lives alone on an island and is the unrequited love of Odysseus.

Physical Appearance[]

She is shown to be a young attractive woman wearing nothing but a green dress and seashell necklace. She also has light brown hair, green eyes, honey colored skin, and always seen barefooted.

Personality[]

Calypso appears as a kind and helpful person but really she is manipulative and scheming, doing whatever she can to get Odie to stay with her due to feelings of unrequited love for Odysseus. However, when forced to accept reality, she accepts that she cannot hang onto the past and force Odie to take the place of his ancestor and love her like she wanted Odysseus to.

Role in the Series[]

In the episode Odie-sey, Odie is sailing with Jay and Neil when they become stranded on the island belonging to Calypso. She greets the teens when she comes to learn that Odie is the descendent of Odysseus and begins doing everything she can to make him happy so he would want to stay with her.

When Jay makes it possible for them to leave, Calypso purposely destroys the repaired ship to keep them there.

Mythology[]

After the Trojan War, Odysseus and his crew began their long journey home from Troy. To aid him, the god of wind Aeolus gifted Odysseus a magical bag containing the wind itself to fill their ship's sails. On their way, they came to an island on which the nymph Calypso lived. Calypso fell in love with Odysseus, who stayed on the island for some time before eventually leaving to resume their journey, leaving behind Aeolus's bag of wind. Though he left Calypso alone, she continued to harbor feelings for him over the next many centuries.[1]

Over the next many centuries, many other handsome men would wash ashore on Calypso's island, with whom Calypso would also fall in love with and make her boyfriends. Any who stayed would eventually die, and she would bury them and mark their graves with their gear.[2] One of them appeared to be a Greek or Roman sailor,[3] who owned a boat that Calypso kept at a dock on her island, and on which she kept Aeolus's bag of winds that Odysseus had left behind.[1]

When Odie was shipwrecked on her island, she fell in love with him knowing that he was a descendant of Odysseus. When Jay and Neil found him, she would not let Odie leave. She destroyed their boat and whenever Neil beats Odie in a game of chess, Calypso knocks the board to the ground pretending that it was an accident. Neil says that it was the third time she did that. When Jay, Odie and Neil found out that the others were in danger, Calypso let them go and gave them a boat and the bag of winds. The boat belonged to one of her old boyfriends. Every hundred years a boy is washed up on her island. When they saved their friends, Odie came back and she gave him a kiss.[1]

When Odie and the others went to the Elysian Fields to meet their ancestors, he told Odysseus that Calypso is doing okay and still looking fine.[4]
