Odysseus didn't return home immediately due to a series of challenges and obstacles he faced during his journey, as detailed in Homer's "The Odyssey." After the Trojan War, he encountered divine interventions, notably from Poseidon, who sought to hinder his return. Additionally, he faced various trials, including encounters with mythical creatures, temptations, and the need to rescue his men. These adventures delayed his arrival in Ithaca for ten long years.
