Athena instructs Odysseus to seek the queen of the Phaeacians, Arete, for help and protection when he arrives in their land. She advises him to approach Arete because she is kind and wise, and her favor would grant him safe passage from the Phaeacians.

Odysseus is treated as a guest by the Phaeacians because he didn't want them to find out his true identity or else they would have killed him.

When Odysseus ship is destroyed after leaving Calypso Athene doesn't help him in fear of angering her uncle Poseidon, who is completely against Odysseus getting back to Ithaca and would kill him if Zeus allowed it. However after Odysseus has swam and almost reached land Athene does help him, while Odysseus is being thrown around by the waves she 'puts into his mind' the idea of grabbing onto a nearby rock, if he hadn't he would have been smashed against the cliff.
Odysseus prayed to Athena to find love and mercy among the Phaeacians. Odysseus was a cunning, strong warrior. He always thought of clever ways around a situation.
