And you know who Telemachus guides faithfully.
Re Reading the poem now.
Athena guides Telemachus, but who does Telemachus guide? He welcomes his father...
I don’t like the voice that Heald gives him. Sure Telemachus is outnumbered, untrained, powerless to evict the suitors, and his mother tries too much to keep him safe at home, but he is no timorous milksop, and that is Heald’s worst choice in the narration.
