keeping Odysseus prisoner on her island and preventing him from reaching home

the current keeps him from reaching home and throws him off track for nine days on the tenth he came home

She loves him and wants him to live with her.
Circe and Calypso kept Odysseus from reaching home in very different ways. After Odysseus conquers the goddess-enchantress Circe she helps him . She is an excellent hostess and lover to Odysseus and his men have to convince him to leave. Calypso falls in love withe Odysseus and keeps him captive until Hermes convinces her to let him free.
Calypso held Odysseus captive on her island for seven years. Circe kept Odysseus for a year. The main force for keeping Odysseus away from home was Neptune. Neptune was angry because Odysseus blinded his son Polyphemus and then mocked him
first was circe then the under world I asked this same question and am looking for a complete list.
Calypso and Circe both use enchantment and allure to keep Odysseus from returning home. Calypso, a nymph, detains Odysseus on her island, Ogygia, for several years, offering him immortality and companionship, while he yearns for his home and family. Circe, a sorceress, initially traps Odysseus and his men in her home, turning them into animals, but later helps him navigate his journey after he resists her magic. Both figures embody the themes of temptation and the struggle against distractions that delay Odysseus's return to Ithaca.
Calypso does.
