Calypso is the immortal nymph that falls in love with Odysseus in Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey. Calypso wishes Odysseus to become immortal and stay with her forever, but Odysseus wishes to return home to his wife Penelope. Odysseus is eventually released by Calypso, on Zeus’ orders, after seven years of imprisonment on her island. Potentially, Calypso could be viewed as an unusually powerful female figure. McCarter argues that Calypso emulates traditional Greek, masculine power ideals and is oppressive towards Odysseus. Odysseus becomes the archetypal subjugated female in the relationship and cries daily about his enslavement. McCarter argues that if Calypso’s leadership dynamic resembles male hierarchical structures, such as Zeus’s Olympus, Calypso cannot be viewed as a feminist icon. Regardless of Calypso’s status as a feminist, there is distortion of hierarchical relationships within the Calypso and Odysseus myth. This distortion causes us to question the purpose of hierarchy and whether it is necessary in relationships. This composition explores and draws inspiration from this subject matter.
