Calypso

Calypso was the daughter of Atlas who lived on the island of Gozo in Greek mythology. Her name has also been listed among the list of the Nereids, which would make her a daughter of Nereus. The latter classification in accord with her islands' proximity and association with the sea, as opposed to inland water.
She delayed Odysseus on her island for seven years of sexual imprisonment. While he was there, post-Homeric sources add, she bore him a child named Nausinous. Althena asked Zeus to spare Odysseus of his torment on the island, as he wanted to go to his homeland. Zeus sent Hermes, the messanger of the gods, to tell Calypso to release Odysseus. As Zeus was the lord of the gods, she was unable to refuse him, although she wished to. Odysseus eventually returned to his homeland of Ithaca, to be with his beloved wife Penelope who waited for him at home, even though Calypso had promised him immortality if he stayed.
The island of Gozo, part of the Maltese archipelago, has a long tradition that it links it with the mythical figure of Calypso.
