Hello and welcome to part three of the Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy. Let's have a recap of part two. With the secret help of the goddess Athena, Telemachus gathers supplies and a crew before sailing from Ithaca in search of his missing father. As their ship travels through the night, the minstrel Phineas tells them how Troy became the greatest and most strongly defended city in the world. He recounts how Paris awarded the golden apple to Aphrodite, angering Hera and Athena in return for the promise that the world's most beautiful woman would become his wife. Paris later stole Helen away from King Menelaus, causing the Greek kings and heroes, including Odysseus and Achilles, to unite against Troy.
Telemachus arrives at Pinos and asks the elderly King Nestor for news of Odysseus, but Nestor knows nothing of what happened to him after the war. Nestor therefore lends Telemachus a chariot and sends his son Peisistratus to guide him across the country to Sparta. At the magnificent palace of Menelaus, the two travelers are warmly welcomed into a great wedding feast. before anyone asks who they are. Helen recognizes Telemachus from his remarkable resemblance to Odysseus, and Menelaus prepares to give the news to Telemachus if Odysseus is alive or not. In the upcoming reading, You'll hear about a mysterious sea god who can transform into fearsome beasts, and does he hold the long-awaited truth about Odysseus, also Telebichus.
Here is the extraordinary story of Achilles, from his secret hiding place to his rise as Greece's greatest warrior. However, a bitter quarrel threatens to tear the Greek army apart. With Apollo sending a deadly plague through the Greek camp and Hector's enormous army preparing to attack, the heroes face dangerous choices between pride, loyalty, glory and survival. So let's begin part 3. Chapter 9 said Menelaus, over against the river that flows out of Egypt, there is an island that men call Pharos. And to that island I came with my ships, when we, the heroes who had fought at Troy, were separated one from the other. There I was held, day after day, by the will of the gods. Our provision of corn was spent, and my men were in danger of perishing of hunger.
Then one day, while my companions were striving desperately to get fish out of the sea, I met on the shore one who had pity for our plight. She was an immortal, Idothea, a daughter of the Ancient One of the Sea. I craved of her to tell me how we might get away from that place, and she counseled me to take by an ambush her father, the Ancient One of the Sea, who was also called Proteus. You can make him tell you, said she, for he knows all things, what you must do to get away from this island of Pharos. Moreover, he can declare to you what happened to the heroes you have been separated from, and what has taken place in your own hall. Then said I to the kind nymph Idothea, Show me how I may take an ambush, your immortal father, the ancient one of the sea.
Said Idothea, My father Proteus comes out of the sea when the sun is highest in the heavens. Then said, would he lie down to sleep in the caves that are along the shore. But before he goes to sleep, he counts as a shepherd counts his flock, the seals that come out of the ocean and lie round where he lies. If there be one too many or one less than there should be, he will not go to sleep in the caves. but I will show you how you and certain of your companions may be near without the Ancient One of the Sea being aware of your presence. Take three of your men, the three you trust above all the others, and as soon as it is dawn tomorrow, meet me by the edge of the sea.
