The goddess who goes in disguise to Ithaca is Athena. In Homer's "Odyssey," she takes on the appearance of a mentor, specifically a man named Mentes, to assist Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, in his quest to find his father. Athena's guidance is crucial in helping him navigate the challenges he faces while seeking information about Odysseus's whereabouts.
