Headcanon that Athena mentions her "friend" to Telemachus every time she has the chance and Telemachus, being this curious boy always wanting to hear stories, always encourages her to do so.
Then one day, Telemachus being bored as hell and probably got into another fight with the suitors, goes up to Athena and asks her if her friend ever did something stupid
And Athena just. Jumps to tell all the bullshit Odysseus got into. It's like a therapy session to talk about how dumb he can be. And Telemachus eats it all up
Fast forward to when Ody comes back home and Athena just hangs around sometimes. Telemachus, again, bored goes to ask Athena about stories of her friend and the shit he did. And Athena freezes up. Odysseus gets curious, and jealous, cause he never knew about a friend, and asks his son.
The mix of pure horror on his face when he discovers his son knows all the stupid shit he did in his youth, and the joy of Athena calling him her friend and talking about it goes entirely unnoticed by his son.
Athena meanwhile is dying inside.
Penelope is cackling
Gather Your Allies
Athena, recovering from God Games: Brother.. will you watch over Ody? Make sure he lives..
Ares: Fine. Only until he gets back home.
Athena: Don’t let him do anything you would do, okay?

Poseidon stumbles into the infirmary looking like Swiss cheese
Athena: what happened??- oh.. ARES!
Hades can't catch a break.
First Odysseus sends him 600 and then shortly after, another 108.
I'm just imagining bro down in the underworld like:
"omg can you stoP it Odysseus, i literally jUst tidied up after the last bunch you sent rushing in!"
@electricmeatorchestra presumably, if someone were using a digital menstrual calendar and realized that (1) they were pregnant, (2) they wished to terminate said pregnancy, and (3) they lived in a state where this was not allowed (as, for example, under a law where this would always be prosecuted as fetal homicide), this data could and WOULD be pulled for the sake of their prosecution. the data being unreliable, on the other hand, would serve to the defendant's defense through the impeachment/unreliability of the data itself. for lack of a more eloquent way of putting it, if you have to prove things beyond a reasonable doubt, a history of people fucking with the data DEFINITELY casts some doubt on this lynchpin evidence, does it not?
