Mentes
Mentes was an old family friend of Odysseus' family, so Athena disguised herself as Mentes to go talk to Telemakhos. She needed to talk to Telemakhos and tell him to become a man and go look for news of Telemakhos' father, Odysseus.
She disguises herself as Telemachus's family friend, Mentes. She wants to convince Mentes to confront his mother's suitors, and for him to search for his father Odysseus.
Ah, what a lovely question! Athena disguises herself as Mentes to guide and protect Odysseus, offering him wisdom and support during his journey. Just like a gentle brushstroke on a canvas, she helps him navigate challenges and find his way back home, showing that even in disguise, her care and guidance shine through.
