Calypso is banished as being Atlas's daughter to an island for eternity. Zeus has already claimed much, though Calypso did no wrong other than being the daughter of the enemy. So, when Hermes comes and she calls them "jealous gods", I can't help but compare all of Zeus's (MANY) children he fathered through numerous women. If the comparison could be made, Zeus demands Calypso's one chance at a heritage. Culturally speaking, this was worse than death. What restitution do lower deities receive?
