Odyssey
The odyssey story starts ten years when the Trojan War had ended. All the Greeks that fought during the troy war had all got back home apart from the Odysseus. He decays on in the Ogygia in the company of Calypso who was a goddess. Fortunately or unfortunately she had emotional feelings for him and therefore did not want to let go of him. Meanwhile back home, a group of potential suitors is trying to court his wife living with the hopes that in case one of them gets lucky to marry her, will have the privilege to rule the kingdom. Back at home too before the war, Odysseus left an infant who is now a grown teenager. He cannot stop the suitors from luring his mother. He had given up in waiting for his father and has assumed that he died long ago in the troy war.
Through Zeus permission, Athena moves to Ithaca to talk Telemachus taking the role of the Odysseus old buddy, during his journey he predicts that Odysseus is still breathing. Just from this thought, she tells Telemachus to invite all the suitors to a gathering then send all of them from his fathers kingdom. With high hope, she asks him to pass through Pylos and Sparta and ask the whereabouts of his father. After the meeting with Athena, he hears a song from the suitors quarter that narrates about the suffering that the Greeks underwent as they returned from the troy war. He realizes that Telemachus is listening to the song and he is deeply depressed about it. Telemachus gets mad with her and tells her that it is not only his husband who never came back from the war and that several soldiers had died in the war. He further advises her to go to her chamber incase the songs she is listening to are upsetting her. Telemachus then speaks to the suitors about a meeting that he was to hold the following day, and that in the meeting they will all be asked to move out of his fathers estate. When the suitors had this they became too furious and even ended up questioning Telemachus.
The following day when the assembly finally meets in the next day, an elder first speaks who congratulated Telemachus for standing up for his fathers position while he was still away. It was also the first time that a meeting had been called since Odyness disappeared. When Telemachus moves forward to give his speech, he complains about him overlooking his father and the home created by his father. He then condemns the suitors for taking over his fathers home and eating his fathers livestock daily (Menlink et al 45).
Towards the end of the odyssey written by Adele Geras and published in 2000. Telemachus plans to leave to Pylos and Sparta to look for his father, and before going he passes through Athena to foretell if his journey will be a success and after getting a confirmation. He picks a crew of soldiers who will accompany him on his trip and carried some food along. His mother his not happy with the decision of him leaving though left with no choice she advises him not to take the sea route. She contained her fears with the belief that God will be on his side thought the journey.
The odyssey is an epic journey, though the term journey should be broadly known. The term epic describes a course taken and based on the Odysseus nosto, it may be described as the return home. When this journey is mentioned in an audience with the Greeks it will be fully known since they have a full understanding of this traditional myth. Though the Odysseus come back is not the only return describe in the odyssey. Attention will shift to Telemachus who is caught up by age and a lot of pressure from the suitors who want the mother to take the kingdom. Therefore in the odyssey again we find out that Telemachus stands up in a journey to protect his fathers position and the king (Dougherty carol 67).
