Why was Hermes sent to see her?
By her, I hope you mean Calypso, nymph of the sea. Calypso kept Odesseus basically trapped at her island Ogygia. The seven years were like relaxing years, as he spent a tough decade in the Trojan War and then another three years fighting back home. As a result, he still didn't reach home, but instead with Calypso in Ogygia. Hermes was sent by Zeus to tell Calypso that it was Odysseus' time to go home, because Odysseus finally longed to go home and had gotten depressed staying on Calypo's island. Calypso raged, distressed at that Odysseus would leave her. But as Zeus demands, Calypso unwillingly obliged.

Odysseus left Calypso's island when Athena told Zeus(her father) that he had been left there and was longing to his return to Ithaca and to see his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus. So Zeus sent Hermes to tell Calypso to let him go after ten years of being on the island. When she realizes that she can't defy the Gods, she tells Odysseus to make a large raft and sail to Ithaca. At first he doesn't believe her to have good intentions for him until she swears upon the river Styx that she will aid him in setting sail.
