Athena, takes the form of the princess´friend ( Nausica, daughter of of King Alcinous) to enter in the dream of Nausica. It is now when¨the goddess drifted through like a breath of fresh air¨ (simile p .169, 20); when Athena enter in her dream as good appearance. Telling her that she should be getting ready to marriage, therefore she should clean the clothes. First of all one of my favorites characters is Athena because she gets the form of whatever its in the topic and appears in different occasions without one realated to the other. Also the way that the simile is introduce saying that the¨goddess¨ Athena appears as fresh air, it makes really clear that it cames for a new air in the Nausicaa´s life, the time to marriage. As it is old ages the clothes are washed in the ¨washing pool¨ the river, but it is true that because she was a princess she was driven by the mules in a wagon. Eventhough it is not in page 169 I did like when at the middle of book six ( P.172) Oddysseus wakes up ¨he crept out of the bushes¨ while the princess and Athena were in the river cleaning the clothes and how ¨he stalked as a mountain lion¨ I believe it wants to say that he appears suddenly and fiercely to finally ask the way to go back home.
