The Modern Relevance of Athena vs Poseidon

Sammy and Daddy were going through a portion of the Odyssey. We were reading about how Calypso imprisoned Odysseus on her island and that the goddess Athena was on Odysseus’s side, while the god of the sea Poseidon was against Odysseus. It’s all too long for Sammy and he just wants to get it over with.

Daddy: Can you think about the implications if you were Odysseus and have one god protecting you, and another wanting to kill you?

Sammy: Daddy, how can I explain to you that I do not care?
