Gozo belongs to the Maltese archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Tunisia. The island is part of the Southern European country of Malta; after the island of Malta itself, it is the second-largest island in the archipelago. Compared to its southeastern neighbour, Gozo is more rural and known for its scenic hills, which are featured on its coat of arms and where many movies have been filmed. The island of Gozo has long been associated with Ogygia, the island home of the nymph Calypso in Homer's Odyssey. In that story, Calypso, possessed of great supernatural powers, and in love with Odysseus, holds him captive for a number of years, until finally releasing him to continue his journey home. The island has a population of around 31,296 people, 7.7 % of the Maltese population (Malta has a population of 411,277 people), Gozo inhabitants are known as Gozitans (Maltese: Għawdxin).
