How does Athena prevent any Phaeacians from bothering Odysseus as he makes his way to the palace?


She creates a disturbance in the marketplace, which attracts everyone’s attention away from him.

She dresses him like an ordinary sailor so he blends in along the shore.

She surrounds him with a mist that hides him from people so he could find the palace without trouble.

She doesn’t help him, Nausicaa personally brings Odysseus to her father, King Alcinous.
