Athena visits Telemachus to give him strength, courage, and encouragement. She also sets him on his way to ready for Odysseus eventual return to Ithaca. She gets Telemachus to go on a boat provided by Noemon to search for word of Odysseus' fate. He first went to Pylos, and then on to the court of Menelaus (in Sparta) to get word. She then provided several other instances of help, including protecting Telemachus, protecting Odysseus.
