Athena wants to help Odysseus because she admires his intelligence, resourcefulness, and bravery. As the goddess of wisdom, she sees him as a deserving hero who faces numerous challenges on his journey home. Additionally, Athena has a personal vendetta against the Trojans, and helping Odysseus serves to honor her own interests and values. Her support reflects her belief in justice, as she seeks to aid those who strive for righteousness.
