Guide Mentor

Athene

Did you notice how Athene takes the disguise of a man named Mentor? No, this wasn’t Homer being blatantly obvious – the word "mentor" actually comes from the Odyssey. Props to Homer. That means that Athene and the role she plays largely defines what we think if as the Guide or Mentor role – the goddess is counselor, champion, cheerleader, and beautician for the mortals she favors.
