[edit] Comments

The "Calypso" in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is NOT the Calypso of Greek mythology, therefore I reverted. As far as I know, the only similarity is the name. I don't think that line should be included here. Ethereal Vega (talk) 01:38, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I removed an insert that someone placed in here saying "Don't come her cause peeps can change stuff", didn't think that had much to do with Calypso. U got corn in dem earz?

[edit] Nereid/Naiad

She is listed as a daughter of Nereus on the Nereid page, but she is called the daughter of Atlas and a naiad here. I'm aware that there are a plethora of sources of such things as this, but usually wiki is good at stating the various parentage(s) of mythological characters. We should at least mention it. Perhaps down in the section where it's noted she's also been called an Oceanid.

[edit] Children with Odysseus?

Hesiod mentions that Odysseus and Calypso had two children together at the end of the Theogony. Do any other sources support this? Slingstone (talk) 06:29, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Nausinous and Nausithous are rather obscure mythological figures. They are other not mentioned at all in other sources or mentioned by those quotting Hesiod. Apollodorus instead mentions Agrius and Latinus as the son of Odysseus and Calypso (for the latter see:Apollodorus, Epit. VII. 24). Eustathius of Thessalonica names Telegonus as the son of Odysseus and Calypso. Note that all three additional sons are elsewhere described as sons of Odysseus and Circe. Suggesting some confusion or identification of the two goddesses. Dimadick (talk) 01:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
