"But since there is no way for another god to thwart
the will of storming Zeus and make it come to nothing,
let the man go – if the Almighty insists, commands –
and destroy himself on the barren salt sea!
I’ll send him off, but not with any escort."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 5, lines 152-156. Calypso agrees to Zeus’s command, delivered to her by Hermes, to allow Odysseus leave her island. She acknowledges that no other god can go against the will of Zeus. This foreshadows Odysseus’ release from Ogygia.
