To send odysseus home
Hermes
Zeus is not directly related to Calypso. Calypso is a nymph in Greek mythology who is known for holding Odysseus captive on her island in Homer's "Odyssey." Zeus is the king of the gods and does not have a familial relationship with Calypso.
Hermes flies in and tells her. Calypso becomes furious at their request and calls the gods jealous that she was sleeping with a mortal man when they slept with mortal women all the time. She still helps Odysseus leave, however. Athena was the one who wanted Odysseus off the island, not Zeus. Zeus simply complied with her wishes.
In the story The Odyssey, Zeus orders Calypso release Odysseus from Calypso's island. Zeus was convinced by the goddess, Athena, to help Odysseus.
