Athene shrouded Odysseus in a mist to conceal his true identity as he approached the city of the Phaeacians.

She put him undercover as an old man
After the Phaeacians deposited Odysseus on Ithaca, he cursed them for their lack of discretion and for helping him return home. He prayed that they would suffer retribution for their kindness, wishing that they would face a fate similar to that of the Cyclopes, ultimately leading to their downfall. This curse reflected his anger and desire for some form of justice for the Phaeacians' perceived arrogance in aiding him without discretion.
