The main idea in the chapter 5 of The Odyssey was all the gods went to a meeting on Mount Olympus to discuss Odysseus’s life. Hermes, the messenger of the gods was sent to Calypso’s island to tell her that Odysseus is allowed to leave so he can return home to his family and kingdom. Then Calypso complains that they can't take him, but does because of Zeus, by the time he was free it has been years and his crew and boat were torn apart so Calypso gave him a boat and a new crew from her island. After that he spots and lands on the island of the Phaeacians. After Poseidon makes a storm and drags Odysseus under it. Athena then comes to his rescue after Poseidon's beating and lands on land after swimming.
In book 5 of The Odyssey by Homer identifies how much the gods really don't like Odysseus after all, but there is hope by some that want to help him. And the troubles that he faces along the way trying to do his quest and get him to his wife and his son that has never met him before. The difference that the gods have with man and religious figures is men don't appreciate things and they are all the same and there will be more human kinds in the world, but Athena protects and is prudence to all this.
