Who helps Odysseus in the fight against the suitors?

Odysseus is assisted in the fight against Penelope's suitors by:

• Telemachus, his son
• Eumaeus, the swineherd
• Philoetius, the cow herd
• a stockman

Athena indirectly appears as Mentor, and uses her goddess powers to help Odysseus, but she does not fight with arms herself.
