The story states that, “The other gods were assembled in the halls of Olympic Zeus, and the Father of Gods and men was speaking” (333-35). They are petty, cruel, and set on the destruction of the heroes. From the very beginning of the story, Athena (one of the major Goodness in the story) is helping out Odysseus.
