Did The Odyssey ever use any Deus Ex machina plot elements?

When Odysseus went to face Circe, Hermes offered him a herb that would allow him to withstand her spells. This is just an example.



However, since the gods were an innate element of the story, one has to wonder whether it counts as a DEM.Did The Odyssey ever use any Deus Ex machina plot elements?
To be honest I don't really think they ever use it in the story?
