Can you describe Athena's changes to Odysseus's appearance in Book 16?
In Book 16 Athena comes to Odysseus in the form of a shepherd and informs him he is in Ithaka. Odysseus makes up a story about how he came to Ithaka. Athena turns into a woman and good-naturedly tells him she knows he is lying, and then reveals her identity. She warns him not to let anyone know of his return, and helps him plan death for the suitors. He will reunite with his old swineherd, while she will recall Telemakhos from Lakedaimon. She transforms him into a decrepit old man for safety, and they part ways.
