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.

Odysseus recognized the good men from Zeus by observing their actions and character traits, particularly their loyalty, bravery, and respect for the gods. In "The Odyssey," he encounters various challenges and trials that reveal the true nature of those around him. Good men are often depicted as virtuous and willing to help others, aligning with the values that Zeus upholds. Additionally, divine signs and omens often guide him in discerning the worthy from the unworthy.
After they leave the cyclopes' island, Odysseus takes his ships back to the neighboring island that they stopped at before (the one with really good land for farming but no seeds have been planted and lots of goats). They sacrifice the goat that Odysseus used to escape- Polyphemus' biggest ram. They sacrifice it to Zeus, but Zeus ignores it.

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.
In the Odyssey, the consequences of staying on the island of Helios were severe. Odysseus's men were warned not to harm the cattle of the sun god Helios, but they disobeyed. As a result, Zeus punished them by sending a storm that destroyed their ship and killed all of Odysseus's companions. Only Odysseus survived, but he faced many challenges as a result of their actions.

he helped Odysseus and he also slayed Argos to help Zeus. I'm not to sure about the bad deeds though.
Because they are brothers and both very powerful gods.don't make Poseidon mad at you (good advice)
Knock knock! Who's there? Zeus Zeus who? Zeus is going to kill you!!!
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.
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.
