1) Is the fact that Athena helping Odysseus a testament to his heavenly renown, and is it an example of his cunning? 2) Is Odysseus revealing himself to his son a symbol that he has a "soft spot" for his family, or does it mean that he his confident in abilities and planning?

1) From the text, is it assumed that if Odysseus had not made Poseidon mad he would have traveled to Egypt?
2) Also, following the ideology of the Greeks inviting strangers into their homes and making connections with the guest, and assuming that the suitors at one time or another have met and shared a meal with Odysseus, how do these suitors not reckonize Odysseus simply from his speaking patterns and mannerism?
