Once again, I am still stuck on this dreadful island with Calypso. It has been really boring and uninteresting. On Pylos though, many kilometers away, there are a lot of important actions going on. Telemakhos, my son, is there looking for any news on me. He is talking to Nestor, my old friend. It’s been many years since I have seen him. The people of Pylos are very nice to my son, and I am pleased that they have taken him in and invited him to all of their festivities. Nestor told him all that he knew of me, and how I stayed and fought with Agamemnon when he turned around and fled. Overall. He knows very little about my positions ,so after treating my son like royalty, he tells him to visit another friend Menelaus.
I think Nestor is a friendly and encouraging person, but I was disappointed that he knew nothing of me or how I was. I could also tell that Telemahkos felt disappointed about the lack of knowledge that Nestor had about me. I am very enthused that Nestor told my son to go see Menelaus, since he knows me very well and should have information for my son. My expectations for my son Telemakhos are to attain the wisdom and the strength to become equal to great achievers of our land. When one learns the ways of life from great teachers, he will become empowered with the wisdom and strength of our Historic leaders and gods.
