He has been gone for like twenty years and everyone at home assumes he is dead. Telemachos is Odysseus son and he is at home with his mother. They are having a feast and all these men are at their house trying to marry his mother, because of the money. Athena is there dressed as Mentes.

        Telemachos calls a meeting with all the Ithakan men which is also the suitors. He complains about the suitors and how they have invaded his house, eaten all his food, have drunk all his wine, and tried to get with his mom. We also learn that he has really bad anger and no one challenges it except Antinoos the king. Telemachos blames all the suitors on his mom and how it is all her fault that they are at their house. At the end of the meeting Telemachos says a prayer an the one to hear it was Athena. So she comes down in disguise of a mentor, and tells him to prepare for a journey and he will find a ship. Telemochas then goes home and all of the suitors mock him, they keep this whole journey on the down low so Penelope doesn't find out. Athena goes around town as Telemachos and finds a group of good men for the crew of the ship. He then leaves for his journey.
