In the Iliad, Apollo cast a plague upon the Greeks for refusing to allow the ransom of the daughter of one of his priests. This does not help Odysseus at all.
Apollo was not a significant figure in The Odyssey.

∙ 12y agoShe doesnt really help him. She is commanded that she let him go by Hermes. Odysseus builds his own little raft, which is pretty impressive for someone who isn't a carpenter, and sails away. She does give him food and clothes, but the food gets destroyed by a storm sent by Poseidon; and the clothes that she gave him would have made him drown if it werent for a little divine intervention.
