Odysseus is stranded on Calypso's Island of Ogygia, where Calypso falls in love with him and offers to make him immortal if he will stay with her forever. He rejects her offer because of his great yearning for home - to Ithaca and Penelope. She still keeps him prisoner for 7 years in which the heartbroken Odysseus just stares out into the eastern seas. He is finally saved by Athena's intervention with Zeus, who sends Hermes to force Calypso to free him. Figures are from DAZ and the water terrains are an adaption of a tutorial by J.B. Allen.
