Character of Athena in Homers Odyssey :: Homer Odyssey womody

image of Athena in Homers Odyssey           The gray eyed Athena is one of the nearly special characters in The Odyssey. First glowering, how many gray eyed stack do you know? That makes her pretty special right there, adding to the fact that she is an olympian goddess. As only goddesses are pictured, she has a thin figure (not skinny), enceinte brown curling hair which flows from the head gently down to her handsome waist, perfect toned peach (in Greek and Roman myths) skin, and, of course, the big voluptuous shiny eyes which can mesmorize any mortal at inaugural sight. Thats one special person.         And she doesnt fail to keep those aspects while helping expose ol Odysseus. In addition to her outstanding looks, she has a kind heart. Unlike her brother, Poseidon, she wants Odysseus to plump gumption home to Ithaka. She also wants Telemahkos to meet his father for the first season in decades. She does t his very cleverly. To help Telemakhos grow out of his cowardly childhood, she comes to him as a well(p) friend, encouraging the young boy to do what he must and seek out news about his father. But when she leaves, she gives a little hint to him that shes actually a goddess by turning into a bird. I think this was a weakness of Athena. The fact that she constantly showed off to many people that she was indeed a goddess shows that she wants to be praised by all and showing a slight immature and soft side on her part.         This can also be interpreted as a good action in some cases. When Telemakhos knows Athena, a goddess, is on his side, this gives him extra confidence. She also shows a caring side when she turns into many different figures to guide Odysseus with his journey. This shows determination on her part, saying that she really wants Odysseus, a brave spend who fought for good in the Trojan War, to get home to his loving family. The focusi ng she changes form to try and trick Odysseus from thinking that he was indeed back home was a test. But he obviously saw through the charade and went to claim his rights back in his palace.         This isnt the only way she helps Odysseus and Telemakhos.
