    What's the name of the island where a daughter of Atlas kept Ulysses captive for a period of seven years?

    		The island's name is Ogygia, and Calypso was the nymph who kept him there.

    Keep in mind Ulysses = Odysseus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odysseus)

    "On the lush, luxuriant island of Ogygia, Odysseus in the Odyssey spends seven years of his ten year journey home with the beautiful seductive nymph Calypso, who virtually possesses him and compels him to live a sensual but vegetative existence."
