It is through giving him intelligent problem-solving skills that Athena helps Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Athena is the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom. The chorus mentions her in their choral odes. She plays no direct role so her help may be assumed in Oedipus' talents at problem-solving.
