Calypso
Detained the wanderer
Calypso is the sea nymph in Greek mythology who detained Odysseus on her island for seven years, offering him immortality if he would stay with her as her husband.
The name has been given to one of Saturn's moons.
Like Calypso, she seemed determined to keep him from ever leaving. (Lowercase calypso is a style of Caribbean music.)
