i believe it was the goddess calypso
Poseidon is angry at Odysseus.
Hermes is sent by Zeus to deliver the message to Calypso, instructing her to free Odysseus. This occurs in Homer's "Odyssey," where Zeus orders Hermes to ensure that Odysseus can finally return home to Ithaca after being held captive for many years. Hermes, as the messenger god, plays a vital role in facilitating this important turning point in Odysseus's journey.
Menelaus learns that Odysseus is still alive through the prophetic words of the sea god Proteus. During his journey home from the Trojan War, Menelaus captures Proteus and, after subduing him, asks about the fates of his fellow Greek heroes. Proteus reveals that Odysseus is alive but held captive on the island of Ogygia by the nymph Calypso.
Odysseus is mythical hero.
God
The god Poseidon is angry with Odysseus for most of the Odyssey. Odysseus blinds the cyclops Polyphemus who is the son of Poseidon. Poseidon therefore tries repeatedly to take revenge on Odysseus during his journey home.
Odysseus was not a god, but the Romans called him Ulysses.
First of all "Patron Saints" are Catholic, not Greek Myth. Second, Odysseus wasn't a god or a Saint; he was the King of Ithaca.
The second lie Odysseus tells the Cyclops is that his ship was wrecked on the rocks of his island due to the wrath of Poseidon, the god of earthquakes. He claims they are the only survivors and begs the Cyclops for help.
The god holding Odysseus on the island is Zeus. Zeus got angry at Odysseus and his men for eating the CATTLE of the sun god, Helios. Odysseus didn't eat the cattle, though. He survived, but his men (or crew) didn't. They died. They Odysseus floated to Calypso's island, Ogygia. Calypso loved Odysseus. They got a little "busy", but Odysseus still loved Penelope. Athena begged Zeus to make Calypso release Odysseus, since Calypso was trapping Odysseus on Ogygia. Zeus told Hermes (god messenger) to tell Calypso to let Odysseus go. She got the message, and agreed to release Odysseus. Odysseus built a raft, but while traveling, Poseidon destroyed it, since Odysseus blinded his son, the Cyclops, Polyphemus.

Odysseus was stranded on the island of Ogygia, where the nymph Calypso held him captive for seven years. She offered him immortality and eternal youth if he stayed with her, but he longed to return home to Ithaca and his wife, Penelope. Eventually, the god Hermes intervened, instructing Calypso to release Odysseus. Reluctantly, she let him go, providing him with supplies and a raft to aid his journey home.
