Courage
Athena allows the suitors to offend Telemachus and Odysseus to test their patience, courage, and resolve. By facing adversity and showing their true character, Telemachus and Odysseus prove themselves worthy of Athena's help and guidance in their quest to reclaim their kingdom.
Telemachus first thinks that Odysseus is a beggar, thanks to Athena's disguise of him. After Odysseus' transformation, Telemachus believes him to be a god, until Odysseus tells Telemachus of his identity.
Telemachus thinks the third person in the hut is a god in disguise, possibly Athena.
Athena helps Telemachus by appearing to him disguised as Mentor to encourage him to call an assembly and speak out against the suitors. She also inspires him to seek information about his father's whereabouts from Nestor and Menelaus. Additionally, Athena provides guidance and reassurance to Telemachus in moments of doubt and difficulty.
Telemachus is unsure if Athena and Zeus will assist because he lacks faith in his own abilities and doubts if he is truly worthy of their support. Additionally, he may feel overwhelmed by the situation with the suitors and may be skeptical about the gods intervening in mortal affairs.
