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.
