Immortals + Roles
Athene
Tells Telemachus that Odysseus is alive, sends him to search
Convinces Zeus to help Odysseus while Poseidon is away
Helps Odysseus think while being shipwrecked
Gives Nausicaa the idea to go down to river, thus finding Odysseus
Makes Odysseus look more attractive when found, so Nausicaa wants to help him
Helps Odysseus find Nausicaa's home, keeps others from seeing him, and gives him useful advice about the family
Poseidon
Is angry at Odysseus for blinding the Cyclops
Shipwrecks Odysseus on Calypso's island
Means the other Immortals have to wait for him to leave to help Odysseus
Creates a storm to shipwreck Odysseus when he leaves Calypso's
Basically the reason for most of Odysseus' adventures
Ino

Hermes
Delivers the message to Calypso to free Odysseus
Calypso
Falls in love with Oddyseus
Keeps Odysseus trapped for 10 years
Relationship between Immortals and Mortals
The phaeacians are favoured by the gods
Often Immortals interfere in the life of mortals - Calypso/Poseidon and Odysseus
Calypso stops him going home, Poseidon also traps him
Much of what mortals do is to please Gods
Mutual respect - Athene and Odysseus
(May not use)
Relationships between Immortals
Rarely openly defy each other
The other gods wait till Poseidon is gone to help Odysseus
