Question

Which of the Olympian deities feature in the legend of Odysseus, and what was their involvement?

Answer 1

Zeus, as the overseer of everything that's going on. In The Odyssey's 1st book, he's shown admiring Odysseus for his wit.
Athena, who disguises herself as a friend of Odysseus and encourages Telemakhos to go out and try to find his father. She also looks after Odysseus throughout the epic, either by using her powers to make him seem more attractive/stronger or by disguising herself so she can direct him.
Hermes, who leads the dead to the afterlife and also serves as a messenger to Kalypso (who has kept Odysseus as a sex slave for like 7 years on her island).
Kirke, who turns Odysseus's men into pigs and when Odysseus has a sword to her throat demanding she changes them back, she tells him that they should sleep together and then they can trust each other.
