Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this is an excerpt from Book VI, which relates the encounter between Odysseus and Nausicaa. Athena is here visiting King Alcinous, since she wants him to assist in Odysseus's return. She enters a beautifully decorated room and finds Nausicaa, the king's daughter, sleeping there accompanied by her maids. Athena disguises as one of Nausicaa's closest friends, Dymas' daughter, she approaches her swiftly and quietly, "like a breath of fresh air," and talks to her.
