Why does Odysseus have a long voyage home?
He stabs the eye of Polyphemus, the cyclops, Poseidon's son. This angers the god, who controls the sea...and he makes Odysseus' journey home from Troy meander for 10 years. He also spends 7 years on Calypso's island.
What reason does Calypso give for letting Odysseus leave in 'The Odyssey'?
Fear of angering the Chief God Zeus is the reason which Calypso gives for letting Odysseus leave in "The Odyssey." The immortal sea nymph in question receives an order from Zeus by way of the divine messenger Hermes to release her mortal lover from a seven-year affair to a recommenced sea voyage home to Ithaca.
What role did the Gods play in The Odyssey's struggle to get home?
They played a very significant role in this epic. They had supernatural powers and where there to help mortals and give their pity. For example, Athena assisted Odyesseus thorugh his journey and helped him arrange his plans to return to Ithaca. She watched his every step and guided him on his voyage. SHe also helped Telemakhos step out of his shadow and start his journey to manhood. She sets and example of an intelligent, sophisticated woman and can be regarded as an example of our modern women today. While, Circe and Calypso also helped Odysseus by providing him with information and advice before he took off towards his homeland. There is a god that is against Odysseus, Poseidon. He makes Odysseus's journey hard after Odysseus blinds the Cyclops. So the Gods can be looked on in both ways. Calypso does not help Odysseus; she goes against Zeus' will by holding captive him there on her island. Yes, they are lovers, but he is not happy there. She actually holds him captive there for seven years, and that by far is going against Zeus' hospitality rule.
