odyssey 6-10

I feel as if Calypso 's island is a main topic in the overall story of the odyssey.  It is where Odysseus is stuck during his journey.  He is placed on Calypso's island by the goddess herself and thats where she keeps him held captive.  While everyone back at home is waiting for his return and thinking that Odysseus is either dead, never returning, or trapped somewhere, he is really resting on a beach.  Not only is Calypso a goddess, but she is keeping him held captive for herself because she wants to keep Odysseus there.  This is where Penelope comes into play because Odysseus loves and misses his wife back at home.  This really bothers Calypso because she wants to keep him there and doesn't want him returning home back to Penelope.  Odysseus's temptation skills are tested while he is on the island with Calypso.  She is a threat to Penelope and Odysseus and having her around causes a problem.
