they stop to get food from harboring ships.. and Odysseus told his men STAY AWAY from the cattle they are not ours to eat then he went to bed. and as he slept his men began to slaughter them all
he and his men land in the island for supper, but on the comdition that his men swear not to eat touch or eat the cattle because the sun god adores them. as Odysseus goes up into an island his men eat the immortal eurylochus persuades them. One of the daughters of Helios tells the sun god how they killed his kine. The men die when Zeus hits their ship with a thunderbolt. only Odysseus survives.
Odysseus hurt the Cyclopes, son of Posiedon. Polyphemus cursed Odysseus upon hisexit from the island. Posiedon then proceeded to punish Odysseus for his hurting of his son.
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.

To the island Aeoli to see Aeolus god of the winds

Hermes, the messenger god, suggests to Odysseus that he should leave Circe's island and continue his journey home to Ithaca. Hermes warns Odysseus about the danger of staying too long on the island and advises him on how to break Circe's spell.
A Goddess to be exact. She was a sorceress goddess who trapped Odysseus on her island for a year.
This was a warning given to him to shun the island of Helios in order to avoid incurring the sun god's wrath. As Helios's (the sun's) gaze reaches everywhere, nothing they did would go undetected. 'Helios the sun-god, who sees all things and hears all things.' When the crew of Odysseus, who were hungry, slaughtered and ate the cattle they found on the island and so incurred the wrath of Helios, Zeus hit them with a bolt of lightning and destroyed them.
He warned not to eat Apollo's cattle.
In Greek mythology, it is the god Poseidon who casts Odysseus upon the island of Ogygia where he meets the nymph Calypso. This event occurs as part of Odysseus' journey back home to Ithaca after the Trojan War in Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey.
It is not the island of circle, but rather the island of Circe. On this island, the witch Circe turns Odysseus's men into pigs. After being warned of his mens fate, the god Hermes gives Odysseus a herb that will protect him from sharing the same fate. The only way that Circe will change his men back, is if Odysseus sleeps with her, so he does, and his men are returned to their human form.
No. Odysseus and Calypso are lovers, and even have a child. However, Odysseus does retain the desire to go home, but does not see this as a valid option when a god is blocking the way.
