Compare and Contrast the Characters of Calypso and NausicaaCompare and Contrast the Characters of Calypso and Nausicaa.Homer describes the character’s of Calypso and Nausicaa very similarly in the Odyssey. They are both seen as kind and hospitable, although one to a higher degree than the other. Calypso captured Odysseus, and forced her to sleep with him, but she was still shown as a kind hearted person, as she gave him food and wine when he departed. Nausicaa was shown to be kind since she was introduced. She helps Odysseus and gets him food and clothes, demanding nothing in return. Another similarity that can be found is that they are both above the average people. Calypso is a Goddess, and Nausicaa the princess of Scherie. Furthermore, they are both looking for a husband, one more forcefully than the other. Calypso bribes Odysseus with the gift of hospitality and agelessness, whilst Nausicaa merely wishes to have a man like that for a husband. This shows a major difference between Calpso and Nausicaa. The Goddess is a lot more confident than the timid princess.
Additionally, the two women are different in the aspect that one is lonely whereas one is always surrounded by people. Calypso has been exiled to stay on this island by herself, after supporting her father in the Titan war. Nausicaa is constantly talking and chatting to her friends maids or the members of her family. This could be the reason why calypso was less amiable to Odysseus than Nausicaa, as Calypso does not usually communicate with people, and therefore not interacting with them. Another major difference between the two is how much they respect the Gods. Calypso, being a Goddess herself, does not see the Gods as highly as Nausicaa, who is but a mere mortal. We can see an example of this as Calypso argues with Zeus, not wanting to let Odysseus leave her island. Nausicaa, however, was shown to listen to Athena as she advised her to wash her clothes. This shows Calypso thinks very highly of
The Gods

Calyprosy
Calypso was also one of the four male gods who were the prime victims of the Gods. This means that the ancient Egyptian Gods were her enemies and that the ancient Egyptians were her enemies too. She was also a great hero and was even taken to the afterlife by his son, Horus, who was a god of all death. At this time Calyprosy was believed to be the greatest god ever created.
The best god to ever live.
Calypso may have had more than one god besides the other, which probably refers to her being both the mother and father of all gods. After an eternity of being separated by countless warlords, Calypos the Firelord died, only for her spirit to become strong enough to overcome the powers of the gods and become the ultimate savior of mankind. She also became one of the ultimate antagonists of the Gods since she destroyed the first Gods and was defeated by them. The most powerful of the gods was her father, who was only known by his son to have had two children and that he was her father due to his love of her child because of her. In most of all Calypos’ life, she cared for Calypos the same way that her father did. While the oldest child of her father’s daughter and the strongest of her children was born of a son of Calypos and his son was not born that way, she did make a second son from a previous relationship by turning to one of the other gods whom she had once cared for, the One-Eyed Titan. When Calypos was four weeks old the first child of her father was destroyed by the God of War by giving birth to the Titan Lord and that was how she could not take back her strength. She grew up to be that very Titan goddess of women and children. Before she was destroyed the only man who ever helped her was his son, Horus.
The only human man alive at this time was a man named Pyn by a man named Mephys. During this short period the two were fighting for life. Pyn had a vision when Pyn was younger and that when the humans were attacked by god Sif Muna, he found her son the only man alive. She came to know about this and helped him learn to swim and to fight and became a hero. After getting off the ship she found Mephys was standing there, her head bowed up, telling Pyn to let him swim as she gave the rest of her soul away. Pyn then revealed to her that he had died to Sif Muna, Mephys had already killed Mephys and killed her lover, Catelyn. Pyn could
