he welcomed her
Athene was received very well when she visited Telemachus while in disguise. She was even invited to a feast.
Before Athene left with Telemachus for Pylos, she transformed the wooers in Odysseus's palace by making them fall into a deep sleep. This divine intervention allowed Telemachus to escape without confrontation, as the wooers were unaware of his departure. Athene's actions demonstrated her support for Telemachus and her desire to protect him as he embarked on his journey.
Before leaving the palace, Athene, in disguise as Mentor, urged Telemachus to take action against the wooers who were courting his mother, Penelope. She inspired him to seek out news of his father, Odysseus, and to assert himself against the suitors. Athene's guidance empowered Telemachus to confront the wooers and reclaim his home, setting the stage for the eventual resolution of their disruptive presence. She also promised to protect him on his journey, reinforcing her role as a divine ally.
She gives Telemachus the advice to go in search of news of his father, Odysseus.
Athene and Zeus
The goddess, Athene, goes in disguise to Ithaca to encourage Telemachus to deal in a manly fashion with the Suitors who are courting his mother, Penelope, and with finding out what has happened to his father. She plays a large role in aiding Telemachus to search for his father, primarily because she was very fond of Odysseus and wanted him to return home to Ithaca. Telemachus would also play a role in the battle in the hall, very important for Odysseus' success.
