weird

it changes throughout The Odyssey really, Athene likes Odysseus but isn't prepared to help him out too much for fear of her uncle Poseidon. Athene always tries to help him as much as possible but is often in disguise. Athene is like a mentor to Odysseus although when he arrives back on Ithica she almost asks for his forgiveness and defends why she didn't help him too much.

But it is quite a weird relationship, Athene admires Odysseus which is why she helps him and his son.
