Oh dear. Finally alone in the middle of the jungle. Relax in peace. Hey! There's cocoa in the thermos. What are you doing here? I'm warming up the herring roosters in the cauldron. I'll collect the tent first. I give up.
You won't get peace anywhere. Well, it's always the same. Because in fact... In fact. We'll find useful tools for every job. It was a question of your own or a friend's project.
In fact.
Hi, I'm Christopher Fitton, and please subscribe to the show. This is part two of The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy. Please check out the description to find a playlist of all parts of this story. Let's do a catch up of part one. Long ago, Odysseus was forced to leave Ithaca and join the Greek war against Troy, leaving behind his wife Penelope and his infant son Telemachus. Twenty years later, Odysseus has still not returned, and Telemachus has grown into a young man while his father's fate remains unknown. A group of powerful suitors has taken over Odysseus' home, wasting his wealth as they pressure Penelope to choose one of them as her new husband. The goddess Athena visits Telemachus in disguise and encourages him to stand up to the suitors and search for news of his father.
Inspired by her words, Telemachus speaks boldly to Penelope and the suitors, showing for the first time that he is ready to act like the son of a king. He calls a council of Ithaca's leaders, where he condemns the suitors, but most of the men are too frightened or unwilling to help him. During the council, two fighting eagles are taken as a sign that Odysseus may soon return and punish those who have dishonored his house. With Athena's help, Telemachus secretly gathers supplies and a crew, then sails through the night towards Pylos and Sparta to seek information about his missing father. Chapter 5 Telemachus went apart, and going by himself, came to the shore of the sea. He dipped his hands into the seawater, and prayed, saying, O goddess Athena,
You who did not come to my father's hall yesterday, I have tried to do as you bade me, but still the wooers of my mother hinder me. from taking ship to seek tidings of my father. He spoke in prayer, and then he saw one who had the likeness of the old man mentor coming toward him. But by the gray, clear, wonderfully shining eyes, he knew that the figure was none other than the goddess Athena. Telemachus said she, if you have indeed one drop of your father's blood in you, or one portion of his spirit, if you are, as he was, one ready to fulfill both word and work, your voyage shall not be in vain." If you were different from what he was, I have no hope that you will accomplish your desire. But I have seen in you something of the wisdom and courage of Odysseus.
Hear my counsel, then, and do as I direct. Go back to your father's house and be with the wooers for a time. and get together corn and barley flour and wine in jars. And while you are doing all this, I will gather together a crew for your ship. There are many ships in Seengert, Ithaca, and I shall choose the best for you, and we will rig her quickly and launch her on the wide deep. When Telemachus heard her counsel, he tarried no more, but went back to the house and stood amongst the wooers. And when he had spoken with them, he went down into the treasure vault. It was a spacious room, filled with gold and bronze, and chests of raiment and casks of wine. The doors of that vault were closed day and night, and Eurycleia, the dame who had been the nurse of Telemachus when he was little, guarded the place.
She came to him, and he spoke to her. My nurse, said he, none but yourself must know what I would do now, and you must swear not to speak of it to my lady mother until twelve days from this. Fill twelve jars with wine for me now, and pour twelve measures of barley meal,
