Odysseus faces the wrath of several gods during his journey. Most notably, Poseidon, the god of the sea, is angered because Odysseus blinds his son, the Cyclops Polyphemus. Additionally, Athena, although often a protector of Odysseus, sometimes has to navigate the discontent of other deities who interfere in his journey. Ultimately, Poseidon's relentless pursuit poses the greatest challenge to Odysseus's return home.
