Nausinous

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In Greek mythology, Nausinous /ˌnɔːˈsɪnəs/ (Greek: Ναυσίνοος, translit. Nausinoos) was the son of Odysseus and Calypso. In Theogony by Hesiod, he is said to have a brother named Nausithous.

Mythology

While stranded on Ogygia, Odysseus was forced to become the lover of Calypso.[1] According to Hesiod, this union resulted in two sons, named Nausinous and Nausithous.[2] Neither Nausinous nor his brother are mentioned in Homer's Odyssey.
