If you analyze Odysseus you will find that he is prideful and cocky. In this case, we see Odysseus push aside his intelligence with his pride. He doesnt want to tell his crew that he needed help.

What happened to Odysseus when he left the company of Alcinous and Arete and was put on a ship?

He fell asleep and was placed on his homeland of Ithaca by the Phaecian crew along with his gifts that he received from Alcinous. The crew was then set to stone and sunk to the bottom ofthe see by Poseidon. When Odysseus awoke, he did not recognise his land as Athene the goddess had put a mist over the land. She then disguised herself as a shepherd boy and spoke to Odysseus who conjured up a lie to keep his identity secret. Athene then showed herself to him and they began to divise a plan in order to return and kill the suitors who had invaded his home.
