In Homer's "Odyssey," the character who witnesses Zeus sending a good omen to Odysseus is the swineherd Eumaeus. This occurs when Odysseus, disguised as a beggar, is in the company of Telemachus and Eumaeus. The omen takes the form of an eagle carrying a trembling dove, which is interpreted as a sign of divine favor and protection for Odysseus as he seeks to reclaim his home and family.

How does Athena feeel sorry for oddysseus how does she think Zeus feels about him?

Athena's aid to Odysseus takes the form of ultimately helping to persuade Zeus to make a declaration and allow Odysseus to return home, and to leave Calypso's island, where he has spent a good deal of a decade. Since he was barred by the god Poseidon, it can be inferred that Zeus was neutral and did not intervene, but was certainly not pleased by Odysseus's wounding of Polyphemus and hubris shown towards Poseidon, if Athena had to persuade Zeus to act.

How did Odysseus leave the island of Calypso?

Odysseus left Calypso's island when Athena told Zeus(her father) that he had been left there and was longing to his return to Ithaca and to see his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus. So Zeus sent Hermes to tell Calypso to let him go after ten years of being on the island. When she realizes that she can't defy the Gods, she tells Odysseus to make a large raft and sail to Ithaca. At first he doesn't believe her to have good intentions for him until she swears upon the river Styx that she will aid him in setting sail.


Why did Poseidon decide to disobey Zeus' decree?

Its quite simple, you don't have to go over and beyond an answer! Zeus was actually at all a good brother, he was the opposite, he wanted to take control and Poseidon with following him one step of the way "trying to be a good brother" he then told Zeus that he didn't want to take it anymore.
