Why doesn't Athena help Odysseus in his fight with the suitors?

Athena does help Odysseus in his fight against the suitors, just not directly.
She helps Odysseus' side's spears find their targets and helps the suitors miss theirs. Further she helps motivate Odysseus reclaim his battle-like demeanour in the face of so many men.
Athena wishes for Odysseus to have the glory himself, and for him to remember what it was like to be a fierce warrior like that in the Trojan war. She chastises him for calling for Mentor's help, likening him to a coward.
