Odysseus was supposed to leave the island of Calypso with the help of the goddess Athena, who intervened on his behalf. Zeus sent Hermes to command Calypso to release Odysseus, allowing him to build a raft and sail home. Despite Calypso's reluctance to let him go, she ultimately complied with the divine order, providing him with supplies and assistance for his journey. This marked the beginning of Odysseus's long and arduous voyage back to Ithaca.
