Athena helps Odysseus.
In "The Odyssey," Athena guides and supports Odysseus throughout his journey, including in his battle against the suitors. She aids him by disguising him, providing strategic advice, and boosting his strength and skill in combat. Ultimately, Athena helps Odysseus successfully reclaim his throne and defeat the suitors.
Many people and gods help Odysseus return home, but Athena is the largest help, appealing to the gods to help him, and not hinder his journey. Aeolus (Eolus) gives Odysseus and his men a bag of the winds so that they can sail home quickly. Circe gives Odysseus much advice on how to get home, including how to pass the dangerous Scylla and Charbydis. The ghosts of the blind Theban prophet Teiresias, Odysseus' mother, and King Agamemnon, offer advice and support to Odysseus journey. Calypso finds Odysseus, shipwrecked, and nurses him back to health. She eventually helps him build a raft to get home. Nausicaa finds Odysseus and brings him home to the Phaecian palace. The Phaecians bring Odysseus home on their swift blessed ships.
Hermes; He gives Odysseus a plant to eat called Moly, which is an enchanted root that can only be uprooted by the gods. Odysseus eats the enchanted root, which protects him from Circe's spells.
Ino, a sea nymph, gives Odysseus a magical veil that protects him from drowning during a storm at sea. This helps Odysseus survive and continue his journey back to Ithaca.
