Norse Myths and Classical Myths: Forty-Second Post (Telemachus)
It’s been a long time since I read The Odyssey. I remember all the stuff about Penelope and her suitors and the weaving and unweaving of the tapestry, but I have no memory at all of Telemachus going off to find his father and hearing the king’s story and returning home again. I’m sure something of the kind is in there, given that Hawthorne is retelling it, but I have no memory of it at all!
