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.

Athena helps Odysseus by surrounding him with a mist that hides him from people, allowing him to find the palace without any trouble. The goddess of wisdom and war often assists Odysseus in the "Odyssey" using her divine powers and the mist is one of the ways she ensures his safety among the Phaeacians.
