Calypso

Calypso, a sea-demigoddess, gave Ulysses hospitably when she found him floating towards her island, entertained him magnificently, became enamored of him, and wished to retain him forever, offering him immortality. She had a magical fire with her, it showed pictures of the past present or future but it did not showed Ulysses pictures of his home, his wife, or his son, for Calypso had put a spell on it to make sure Ulysses would not think of leaveing her.
Soon Hermes the god's messenger delivered a message to Calypso ordering her to allow Ulysses to leave her island and return home. She did not wanted to let Ulysses leave but even so she helped him build a raft worthy enough to sail home.

Calypso
Yes, this is a picture of Calypso...and some other guy.
