Telemachus receives going away presents from Athene and Menelaus. These gifts signify support and protection for his journey to learn about his father, Odysseus, and his own destiny. They serve as symbols of guidance and encouragement to help Telemachus in his quest.
they wanted to jump him when telemachus was coming back to shore after a trip to search for his father. they were hiding in a shore, Athene said to poseidon theres a ship from Ithaca, lets give odysses's friends a scare (or sumthing like that) and so they put a fog around the ship (athene is actually on odysses's side and the ship was holding the suiters). So then telemachus waltz right past the suiters without a second glance. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!
Amphinomus advises the suitors to stop their aggressive behavior towards Telemachus and instead focus on enjoying the feasting and entertainment at the palace. He warns them not to harm Telemachus, as it could result in retribution from the gods.
"Bring these men to be our guests: unhitch their team!" (paraphrase of entire quotation from book: there is no question about them staying here!) take care of the horses and bring the men to the house
It is thought that Homer was a Babylonian who was taken hostage by the Greeks. Another theory states that the Oracle at Delphi claimed he was the Ithacan son of Epikaste and Telemachus from the Odyssey.
a lamb
the excuse that telemachus gives to the suitors is that he will clean the weapons
Advice has no singular form; the closest is a 'piece of advice'. Proper usages include: give advice give some advice give a piece of advice
That his father is not dead and is in Ithaca
to give advice is to give a suggestion
Athena did not give Arachne a chance to repent, at least not in the version I know. According to my texts, Arachne was boastful until the end, and when beaten, rather than beg forgiveness, she chose to kill herself in shame. It could be argues that Athena's curse was merciful, since it meant that Arachne didn't die.
Menelaus wished to give Telemachus "three stallions and a chariot burnished bright...and a gorgeous cup." Telemachus regretfully declined these gifts for his own reasons. In exchange, Menelaus instead gave Telemachus "a mixing bowl...solid silver finished off with a lip of gold."
