The entire point of the story is that mortals despite their pride and greed are playthings of the gods and therefore must be humble and behave honorably or will be punished. The male god Poseidon is the antagonist, and the hero is Athena, who repeatedly leads the otherwise helpless characters to resolution and peace and essentially is the writer of the story more or less, hence why she is the goddess of cleverness and warfare and so on. Women are a central axiom of the entire story, the thing that drives men forward to survive.
