It was Athena.  Odyseus had a temple to Athena in his homeland, and he had prayed to her at the beginning and end of his voyage to Troy to fight in the Trojan War.  I believe Athena was his patron goddess.

Her name was Echo. The goddess cursed her so she could only repeat the last words she heard. One day she saw a very beautiful but proud  and disdainful youth called Narcissus in the woods and fell in love with him, but couldn't tell him coz she could only repeat what he was saying, so he mocked her  When Narcissus was born it was prophecised that "he will be happy as long as he does not know himself" He looked in a lake, saw his reflection for the first time and fell in love, thinking it was a water nymph. He dived in to the lake and drowned. She sat by the lake and pined away to nothing. Thats why we call the sound an 'echo', as it's menat to be the nymph still wandering the hills and repeating what she hears, and someone who loves themselves a 'narcissist'.

Odysseus , Lat. Ulysses [yOOlis'ēz] , in Greek mythology, son and successor of King Laertes of Ithaca. A leader of Greek forces during the Trojan War, Odysseus was noted (as in the Iliad) for his cunning strategy and his wise counsel. He is the central figure of the Odyssey, which tells of his adventures after the fall of Troy. In post-Homeric legend, however, he was pictured as a wily, lying, and evil man. He avoided service in the Trojan War by feigning madness—until exposed by Palamedes, whom he later treacherously caused to be executed.

In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture. According to Hesiod, she was born when Uranus (the father of the gods) was castrated by his son Cronus. Cronus threw the severed genitals into the ocean which began to churn and foam about them. From the aphros ("sea foam") arose Aphrodite, and the sea carried her to either Cyprus or Cythera. Hence she is often referred to as Kypris and Cytherea. Homer calls her a daughter of Zeus and Dione. \nAfter her birth, Zeus was afraid that the gods would fight over Aphrodite's hand in marriage so he married her off to the smith god Hephaestus, the steadiest of the gods. He could hardly believe his good luck and used all his skills to make the most lavish jewels for her. He made her a girdle of finely wrought gold and wove magic into the filigree work. That was not very wise of him, for when she wore her magic girdle no one could resist her, and she was all too irresistible already. She loved gaiety and glamour and was not at all pleased at being the wife of sooty, hard-working Hephaestus. \n\nAphrodite loved and was loved by many gods and mortals. Among her mortal lovers, the most famous was perhaps Adonis. Some of her sons are Eros, Anteros, Hymenaios and Aeneas (with her Trojan lover Anchises). She is accompanied by the Graces. \n\nHer festival is the Aphrodisiac which was celebrated in various centers of Greece and especially in Athens and Corinth. Her priestesses were not prostitutes but women who represented the goddess and sexual intercourse with them was considered just one of the methods of worship. Aphrodite was originally an old-Asian goddess, similar to the Mesopotamian Ishtar and the Syro-Palestinian goddess Ashtart. Her attributes are a.o. the dolphin, the dove, the swan, the pomegranate and the lime tree. \n\nIn Roman mythology Venus is the goddess of love and beauty.

HERAKLES\n\nMeans "glory of Hera" from the name of the goddess HERA combined with Greek κλεος (kleos) "glory". He was a hero in Greek and Roman mythology, the son of Zeus and the mortal woman Alcmene. He completed twelve labours in order to become a god.\n\nLegend has it that Herakles' first name really was Alkaios or Alkeides and only the Pythia in Delphi (a holy female seer) adressed him by the name Herakles for the first time, when he came before her.

Artemis (Diana) was the daughter of Zeus and Leto. Her twin brother was Apollo. She was the lady of the wild things. She was the huntsman of the gods. She was the protector of the young. Like Apollo, she hunted with silver arrows. She became associated with the moon. She was a virgin goddess, and the goddess of chastity. She also presided over childbirth, which may seem odd for a virgin, but goes back to causing Leto no pain when she was born. The cypress was her tree. All wild animals were sacred to her, especially the deer.

The wife of Agamemnon who, with the assistance of her lover Aegisthus, murdered him on his return from the Trojan War and was later murdered by her son Orestes.\n\nIn Greek, Κλυταιμνήστρα Klytaimnéstra, means "praiseworthy wooing" because she was believed to have been born of a union between Zeus and Leda, the former having wooed the latter disguised as a swan.\n\nCheers!

Aphrodite isn't the Goddess of Venus or the moon. She's the Greek Goddess of Love, Beauty and Fertility. The confusion comes from the fact that the Greeks and Romans had an almost identical pantheon of Gods and Goddesses. The Goddess that was known to the Greeks as Aphrodite was Venus to the Romans (the planet was named after the Goddess, not the other way around). \n\nSome people confuse Aphrodite with Artemis. Artemis was the Greek Goddess of the hunt and was often associated with the moon (sensible as one hunts best at night under a full moon).\n\nAt any rate the Greeks and Romans did not believe that their Gods and Goddesses ruled over any planets but simply associated certain planets with them.

In Greek mythology, Nike (Greek Νίκη, pronounced /'nike/ "NEE-keh", meaning "Victory") , was a goddess who personified triumph and victory. She was capable of running and flying at great speeds and the sister of Cratos, Bia, and Zelus. Nike and her siblings were all companions of Zeus.

Orestes, in Greek mythology, the only son of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon and brother of Electra and Iphigenia. After the slaying of Agamemnon by Clytemnestra and Aegisthus, Orestes, still a boy, was sent to live in exile. Since it was the duty of the senior male in the house to punish the murderers, Orestes was commanded by Apollo to avenge the crime. With the assistance of Electra and his friend Pylades, who accompanied him in all his adventures, he killed his mother and her lover. After this matricide he was haunted by the Furies (Erinyes) until he reached Athens. He was tried and acquitted by the Areopagus, the tribunal of Athenian judges. Not all the Furies, however, accepted the verdict; and, to win full expiation from his crime, he was told to steal the sacred image of Artemis from Tauris. At Tauris he was reunited with Iphigenia and with her assistance stole the image and safely returned to Greece. It is said that he later married Hermione, the daughter of Menelaus and Helen. In the Oresteia, Aeschylus dramatized his vengeance and expiation. The story was also used by Sophocles and Euripides.
