In the story the Odyssey, Zeus orders Calypso release Odysseus from Calypso's island. Zeus was convinced by the goddess, Athena, to help Odysseus.
Zeus was not a great help for Odysseus in his journey home, at least according to Homer's The Odyssey. It was mainly Athena, his patron goddess, who helped him the most along the way, including warning him of future dangers and quelling the wrath of Posiedon.

In book 9 of the Odyssey, Odysseus is helped by Zeus, who sends a storm to punish the men who harmed Odysseus. The goddess Athena assists Odysseus by providing him with guidance and disguising him to protect him from danger. Attendees also receive aid from the wind god Aeolus, who gives Odysseus a bag of winds to help him on his journey home.
It's not Zeus that is disrupting the seas after Odysseus leaves Calypso's island; it is Poseidon. Athena went to Zeus to ask for his help to get Odysseus home and Zeus agreed that he would allow Odysseus to try and get home. Poseidon, on the other hand, hates the Greeks and especially hates Odysseus because he killed his son the cyclops, Polyphemus.
Zeus responds to Odysseus' offerings with favor and protection. As a powerful deity in Greek mythology, Zeus often bestows blessings and assistance to those who pay him homage and seek his favor. Odysseus' offerings demonstrate his respect and gratitude toward the god, prompting Zeus to offer his help in return.
