Calypso
Calypso was a minor goddess who kept herself isolated on her own island with several maid servants. When Odysseus arrived half-drowned on her shores, she revived him and nursed him back to health. However, she refused to allow him to continue his journey until Zeus finally ordered her to let him go. She offered Odysseus immortality if he would stay with her, but Odysseus refused, insisting that mortality with his Penelope was better than eternity without her.
