Athena

um.... I think that you have got this mixed up. All the gods except for Poseidon favored Odysseus. Poseidon had a grudge over Odysseus because Odysseus blinded Poseidon's son Polyphemos.
Because he did not sacrifice an animal to the gods after the war.
Athena was the Goddess with the most commitment and concern with odysseus.
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.'
In the struggle between Odysseus and the suitors, the gods appear to favor Odysseus. Athena, in particular, helps Odysseus by guiding him and aiding in his plans to defeat the suitors. The intervention of the gods ensures Odysseus's ultimate triumph over his enemies.
Penelope says that the gods gave her and Odysseus the difficulty of being separated for many years due to the Trojan War and Odysseus' long journey back home. This separation tested their faithfulness and endurance in the face of numerous challenges and temptations.

These gods never met Odysseus.
Calypso decides to let Odysseus go because the gods, particularly Hermes, command her to release him. Despite her deep love for Odysseus and her desire to keep him on her island, she ultimately respects the will of the gods and acknowledges that Odysseus longs to return to his home and family. This act reflects the tension between personal desire and divine intervention in Greek mythology.
