The treated Odysseus with hospitality. To treat any one bad was considered shameful and frowned upon in society. If he were treated any negative way it would've been a direct insult to the Gods.
Some of the major gods in the Odyssey include Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and Hermes. Zeus is the king of the gods, Athena is the goddess of wisdom and warfare who aids Odysseus, Poseidon is the god of the sea who opposes Odysseus, and Hermes is the messenger of the gods who helps guide Odysseus on his journey.
In the Odyssey, Odysseus shows respect for the gods by making sacrifices and offerings to them, following their guidance and advice, and acknowledging their power and influence over his destiny. He prays to the gods for help and guidance on his journey home, and he honors them by obeying their commands and rituals.
In Homer's "The Odyssey," the gods decide to help Odysseus by sending Hermes to Calypso to demand Odysseus's release from her island and by inspiring Athena to plead with Zeus to intervene and help Odysseus return home to Ithaca.
Poseidon is in Ethiopia at the beginning of the Odyssey.
