The siege of Troy had lasted for ten years when the Greeks (Odysseus and other leaders) devised a plan to end the war.
They constructed a large wooden horse and concealed soldiers inside it, then their armies boarded their ships. The Trojans thought that the Greeks had abandoned the siege and they dragged the wooden horse into the city.
At night the Greek armies returned. The soldiers crept out of the horse and opened the city gates thus allowing the Greek armies to rush in and capture the city.

Three days.

On Calypso's island after Zeus makes her release him.
Calypso allows Odysseus to leave her island after Athene asks Zeus to tell Calyspo that if she doesnt allow Odysseus to leave her island that if she doesnt that Zeus will strike her with a thunderbolt and kill her as he is not a prisoner to her island and need to get home to be with Penelope (his wife). Zeus sends Hermes the messenger God to tell Calypso. Although Calypso is furious and doesnt want Odysseus to leave, she lets him because obviously she doesnt want to die so she helps him build a raft and gives him gifts for his journey home.
The order in which Odysseus reveals herself to her friends and loved ones builds suspense by creating anticipation and mystery. By strategically choosing who to reveal her true identity to first, Odysseus heightens tension and keeps the reader or audience engaged as they wait to see how each character will react to the revelation. This sequencing also allows for a gradual unveiling of Odysseus' true identity, adding layers of complexity to the narrative and increasing the emotional impact of each reveal.
