What news does Hermes bring to Calypso?
Zeus sent Hermes to order Calypso to free Odysseus and send him on his way home. Calypso greeted Hermes and honored him with ambrosia and red nectar. He told her of Zeus' demands as they ate. She was upset that Zeus would ask her give up her lover but she did not refuse. If Odysseus wanted to stay with Calypso then Zeus would permit it, but if Odysseus wanted to leave, Calypso could not use her charms to stop him. She thought that Odysseus might change his mind if he understood her love and power. She offered Odysseus immortality and endless youth but he was determined to return to his home or die trying. Calypso accepted her fate and agreed to let Odysseus leave unhindered. She refused to supply Odysseus with a raft or ship but she gave him some tools and the skillful Odysseus built a raft for himself. When it came time to leave, Calypso in her loving nature, gave Odysseus provisions and sent him on his way with a fair wind to speed him home. Calypso and Odysseus had two daughters, Nausithoos and Nausinoos.
