I love Athena. Throughout each book she seems to be the common thread, always present in some form or fashion. I admire how she works. She is very keen and stealthy as we see her disguised, working to manipulate mortals and stir situations for the good of the one she pities. The way her eyes are described is very interesting to me. The repetition of the phrase "the bright eyed goddess" conveys the keenness I referred to. The writer also refers to her eyes as "glinting." As I read, Athena's eyes reveal the story to me. They reveal that she sees the outcome, the hope amid the tragedy. Her eyes reveal her enthusiastic and willing heart as she is orchestrating and finalizing Odysseus's journey home.
P.S. I commented on Matt Henson's and Caleb Zessin's blogs.
