Athena helped Odysseus in many ways, she probably provided the olive tree in which he carved a spear to use to blind polyphemus.Olive trees were one of her symbols.

Athena uses her powers to guide and inspire Telemachus, helping him grow from a passive youth into a more confident and assertive leader. She does this by providing him with encouragement, wisdom, and divine intervention, often appearing in disguise to offer advice or support. Her influence is pivotal in motivating him to embark on a journey to find his father, Odysseus, and reclaim his place in Ithaca. Through these transformations, Athena empowers Telemachus to embrace his role and responsibilities.

Medusa isn't a Greek Goddess, and she doesn't have any powers, except if you mean the 'turn into stone when you look her in the eye' thing. That was only a curse by Athena because Medusa and Poseidon were making love in one of Athena's temples, and Athena is a virgin goddess.
Circe's power profoundly affects Odysseus by transforming his men into swine, showcasing her enchantment and ability to manipulate reality. When Odysseus confronts her, he is initially vulnerable, but with the help of Hermes and the use of a magical herb, he overcomes her spells. This encounter leads to a complex relationship where Circe eventually aids Odysseus, providing him with crucial guidance for his journey home. Ultimately, her powers challenge Odysseus's leadership and resilience, highlighting themes of temptation and transformation.
Hermes the Messenger God tells Odysseus to eat a plant called Moly. At first Odysseus doesn't want to because Moly is poisonous but he trust Hermes and eats the plant.
In my opinion it was due to this: When Kratos took the throne of the former God of War, he took all that powers with him BUT he did not have the knowledge tu make use of full godly powers, he just could use magic bestowed by the gods (then that magic are made for a mortal to wield) and it was not until Athena comes from the portal to Mt. Olympus and give to Kratos the knowledge to be able of use it (Thus he was ready to be a god in Athena's words) but it seemed that Athena attempted to make Kratos more peaceful and less rageful against the other gods' behaviour at the time she was giving that knowledge and it is for that reason that Kratos was a little angry with Athena (Yes, a little). That it is my opinion because I see no other reason to not use godly powers when he is fighting a god FEARED BY OLYMPUS while DEIMOS IS RISKING HIS LIFE (That god is Thanatos, I tell that if someone who read it does not know) Of course, the powers of Pandora's box ARE NOT that powers.
