Calypso has the power of immorality over Odysseus.
Odysseus was kept from leaving the island of Ogygia by the nymph Calypso. She had fallen in love with him and held him captive for several years, wanting him to stay with her. Despite his longing to return home to Ithaca, Odysseus was unable to leave until the gods intervened, specifically Hermes, who delivered a message from Zeus commanding Calypso to let him go.
Hermes is sent down to Calypso, telling her that the gods wish for her to release Odysseus. Therefore, it is Calypso who allows Odysseus to leave, not Odysseus who 'manages to say no.'
