Athene was the goddess who helped and guided Odysseus through his entire journey.
Athene is considered the main female character in Homer's Odyssey is because Athene is always mentioned by Homer divinely intervening with Odysseus' path e.g. Athene asks Zeus to release Odysseus from Calypso's island of Ogygia and so he sends Hermes to order Calypso or in Book 6, Athene is the reason both Odysseus and Nausicaa cross paths by the river bed.
to win love
in the form of a maiden carrying a pitcher
She gives Telemachus the advice to go in search of news of his father, Odysseus.
weird it changes throughout the Odyssey really, Athene likes Odysseus but isn't prepared to help him out too much for fear of her uncle Poseidon. Athene always tries to help him as much as possible but is often in disguise. Athene is like a mentor to Odysseus although when he arrives back on Ithica she almost asks for his forgiveness and defends why she didn't help him too much. But it is quite a weird relationship, Athene admires Odysseus which is why she helps him and his son.
When Odysseus arrived home goddess Athene disguised him as an old man so that nobody could recognize him.
