Calypso was once a normal Goddess, until she made the mistake of helping her father out. She was wrong to play at fate and try to avoid the God’s wrath. She once fought in many battles and was adored by many men. She had luscious long blonde hair, and curves that would put Aphrodite to shame. Calypso didn't ask to be sentenced to life imprisonment on an island which name she could not pronounce.
After the war between the Gods and Titan's, Zeus brought it upon himself to banish the young maiden to eternal life alone, on an island that never showed up on the same place twice. Calypso had made the mistake of supporting her father Atlas and ever since then has regretted it.
