what prevents odysseus from embracing his mother, anticlea, in the underworld?
the god of the underworld, hades, prohibits his doing so
she is now a spirit without a substantial body
she has yet to be placed in her proper sphere in the underworld
she has not forgiven him for his leaving for troy

Explanation:

In Book 11 of Homer's Odyssey, when Odysseus encounters his mother Anticlea in the underworld, he tries multiple times to embrace her but cannot. This is because, as a deceased spirit in the underworld, she no longer has a physical, substantial body that can be touched.

Answer:

she is now a spirit without a substantial body
