Ogygia is an island mentioned in Homer's Odyssey, Book V, as the home of the nymph Kalypso, the daughter of the Titan Atlas, In Homer's Odyssey Kalypso detained Odysseus on Ogygia for 7 years and kept him from returning to his home of Ithaka, wanting to marry him. Athena complained about Kalypso's actions to Zeus, who sent the messenger Hermes to Ogygia to order Kalypso to release Odysseus. Hermes is Odysseus's great grandfather on his mother's side, through Autolycos. Kalypso finally, though reluctantly, instructed Odysseus to build a small raft, gave him food and wine, and let him depart the island.
