Poseidon spots him and sends a storm at him. He clings onto the wreckage of his raft, and accepts the gift of the veil of a sea nymph called Ino, but interprets it as a trick of the gods at first. He is eventually swept to the land of the Phaeicians, where he prays to the river god for entry. He is let in and throws the veil back into the sea for Ino. He then falls asleep naked and filthy behind a bush until Nausicaa arrives.

How long is Odysseus on calypsos island?
this is not very well known I'm happy. The approximate estimated guess is over 30 years but this means that he may have died of scurvy because calypso fed him much fruit and scurvy-advancing pills that may have advanced his age and case of dysentery. Also Hercules came to visit but decided to leave him on the island of rainbows of brick and galloping butterflies. Odysseus hated calypso and left her after he got there. However he also liked her and got there after he left. This is because he was allergic to water so he consumes much of calypso's water because it is normal water that he is allergic to. I hope this helps.
