Athena helps Odysseus as well as Telemachus
Zeus helps him return to Ithaca.
As far as the reunion of father and son is concerned, we see a key moments in this event in Odyssey 13 and 15. In Odyssey 13, when Odysseus returns to Ithaca, he encountered Athena, who disguises him as a beggar and tells him to go first to the hut of the swineherd Eumaeus.Similarly, in Odyssey 15, Athena visits Telemachus, who has been out searching for his father. The goddess meets him in Lacedaemon (Sparta) and tells him it is time to return home to Ithaca. When Telemachus arrives in Ithaca, she also tells him to go to the hut of the swineherd Eumaeaus.
The goddess who helps Odysseus change his appearance is Athena. In Homer's "Odyssey," she assists him by disguising him as a beggar when he returns to Ithaca, allowing him to assess the situation at his home without being recognized. Athena's guidance and support are crucial for Odysseus as he navigates the challenges he faces upon his return.
In Ithaca, Odysseus primarily interacts with his son Telemachus, who is initially unaware of his father's return. He also converses with his loyal swineherd, Eumaeus, who helps him devise a plan to reclaim his home from the suitors. Additionally, he speaks with Penelope, his wife, though their conversation occurs later as he reveals his identity. These interactions are crucial for Odysseus to reconnect with his family and strategize against the suitors.
Athena plays a big part in aiding Odysseus back to Ithaca. She acts as his guardian and helps him through many of his troubles and distresses. She reunites him with his son Telemachus and disguises him in Ithaca as a beggar. In the end she also reunites him with his wife Penelope after twenty years away from her.
Telemachus is accompanied to Sparta by the swineherd Eumaeus and the goddess Athena, who often takes on a guiding role throughout his journey. Athena, in disguise, helps Telemachus navigate his quest to find news of his father, Odysseus, and provides him with both protection and wisdom during his travels. Their journey to the house of Menelaus is pivotal as it allows Telemachus to gain insight into his father's fate.
Athena
In Homer's "The Odyssey," peace is ultimately restored to Ithaca by the intervention of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare. After Odysseus returns home and confronts the suitors, Athena helps him reconcile with the families of the slain suitors. She mediates to ensure that bloodshed is minimized and fosters a sense of unity among the people of Ithaca, leading to a lasting peace in the region.
they wanted to jump him when telemachus was coming back to shore after a trip to search for his father. they were hiding in a shore, Athene said to poseidon theres a ship from Ithaca, lets give odysses's friends a scare (or sumthing like that) and so they put a fog around the ship (athene is actually on odysses's side and the ship was holding the suiters). So then telemachus waltz right past the suiters without a second glance. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!
Eumaeus, the swineherd, is Odysseus' trusted servant. While Odysseus is in Troy fighting in the Trojan War and on his many travels in his return home, Eumaeus acts as a father sort of figure to Odysseus' son Telemachus. When Odysseus returns, apart from Athene the goddess, Eumaus is the first person that Odysseus sees, while in his hut, disguised as a old man. He also helps sneak Odysseus into the palace and past the suitors.
He helps him by giving him helpful hints, facts, and advice. Telemachus was there for his dad throught out the battle for ehatever he needed.
