OGYGIA



In Greek mythology, Ogygia is a fabled island controlled by the nymph Calypso. It was a tree covered,

dark, depressing land in which the temperature was cold and the beast were frighting. Calyspo detained

 Odysseus on Ogygia for seven long, miserable years as a prisoner of passion, a slave, and a husband.

 Zeus sent Hermes to Ogygia to have Calyspo send Odysseus on his way to Ithaca or suffer the

consequences. So, she let him go much to her dismay.
