Apr. 14: The Odyssey

Minutes: 45

Pages: ?

Summary: Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, is in the courtyard of his house. His father has been gone for nearly 20 years. Suitors are at his house oping to marry Penelope (Odysseus' Wife) once she decides that Odysseus is dead. Athena disguised as a sailor comes to him and tells him that Odysseus is alive and that he should go find him. He calls the assembly the next day to announce his leaving and to beg the suitors to stop using up the family's resources. He gets a boat and leaves.

Reflection:Telemachus has the makings of greatness in him.
