She was upset that Zeus would ask her give up her lover but she did not refuse. If Odysseus wanted to stay with Calypso then Zeus would permit it, but if Odysseus wanted to leave, Calypso could not use her charms to stop him. She thought that Odysseus might change his mind if he understood her love and power. She offered Odysseus immortality and endless youth but he was determined to return to his home or die trying. Calypso accepted her fate and agreed to let Odysseus leave unhindered. She refused to supply Odysseus with a raft or ship but she gave him some tools and the skillful Odysseus built a raft for himself. When it came time to leave, Calypso in her loving nature, gave Odysseus provisions and sent him on his way with a fair wind to speed him home.

What are some bad things Odysseus did?
He cheated on his wife with Calypso and Circe, he let his men die, and insulted the gods. However, most of these were not done on purpose. He was literally trapped on an island with Calypso, who was a beautiful nymph, for 8 years. Just him and Calypso. His men were stupid in the fact that they ate Helios' cattle when told not to. This insulted Helios, who requested Zeus to punish Odysseus. Also, to get past Scylla, he HAD to sacrifice six of his men in order for Scylla not to destroy the ship. Finally, he blinded Polyphemus, who was Poseidon's son (no known to Odysseus), to escape his island. Odysseus was cursed accordingly each time he insulted the gods though, so it evened out.

Circe is the sorceress. Some people would try to tell you that Calypso is also a sorceress, but she is just an attractive daughter of Kronos, Lord of Time.
