EPIC Thoughts with Sunny Pt.2:
Athena most likely feels guilty for the fact that, if she would've forced Odysseus to kill the cyclops, the rest of the men wouldn't have died. While also having the idea that she could've prevented everything that had gotten men killed, but she just didn't.
After Odysseus left, I would like to think Circe had a real burial for Elpenor, if I'm correct, he died, right? Only to be as a second will of good faith, and also a way to show she wasn't an actual full monster.
Despite only interfering whenever Odysseus was at his lowest, Hermes most likely still kept the closest of eyes on him, and his family. Even if he couldn't always do something to help, like when Odysseus was on Calypso's Island, he always made sure they were okay. I also imagine, when Ody got home, Hermes would visit the Underworld to talk to Polites, Eurylochus, his mother, the crew, and any other lost soldiers from the Trojan War, just to visit Odysseus and tell him and his family all about the happenings below. Always offering to take one of them to the Underworld so they could talk to anyone they wanted.
