	Telemachy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Telemachy is a term used to describe the first four books of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey.
		Whilst the Telemachy develops Telemachos and sets the scene in Ithaka, it is not at all true to say that Odysseus is left unmentioned.
		By the end of the Telemachy, the scene is set for Odysseus to appear in chief.

	Telemachus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His part in the saga of Odysseus was described by Homer in the epic poems of the Iliad and the Odyssey, in which his part of the story is often portrayed as a passage into manhood from childhood.
		In particular, the first four books of the Odyssey are sometimes referred to as the Telemachy.
		Telemachus was born on the day that his father was called to fight in the Trojan War.

	Telemachy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It is widely known that the 'Odyssey' tells the epic story of Odysseus travels home to Ithaka from the Trojan War.The epic consists of more than twelve thousand lines of text and it is divided into 24 books.
		The Telemachy begins by introducing us to the year of Odysseus' return.
		In fact, any opportunity to remind us of the acclaim that he achieved in the Iliad is fully exploited.

	Study Guide for Homer's Odyssey
		Note how the conclusion of the Telemachy is deferred until Book 15, when Telemachus evades the ambush set by the suitors (Book 4) and reaches home.
		...the inclusion of the Telemachy in the epic is a master-stroke on the part of the poet, since it allows him to start events in different places at the same time, and so to create from the beginning two strands of narrative which run parallel until he brings them together at the conclusion.
		The gods--and the poet--have carefully arranged that at almost the same moment as the father on a distant island embarks on the craft he has built himself, the son leaves home to find news of his father in the world outside.

		The Telemachy serves a dramatic purpose by implying that the son has a essential role in the overthrow of the brazen suitors, a part for which he is not yet ready.
		The Telemachy establishes a value system within the epic whereby mortals begin to see their own part in bringing about human affliction and suffering.
		The Telemachy shows us exactly what Odysseus does not know about his wife and son and their plight.

		Unlike the Iliad, however, which chronicles just a few weeks in the last year of the Trojan War, the Odyssey journeys back and forth in time, utilizing techniques of delay, digression or excursus, and elaboration.
		Both the Telemachy and Odysseus's Wanderings are in some sense journeys of identity.
		Storytelling: As we've noted, the telling of stories is enormously important to the form and content, the structure and theme of the Odyssey.

	Homer Odyssey Essays - Free Essay on Homer's Odyssey: Hospitality
		Hospitality: Greek philoxenia; literally “love of strangers.” Homer might have had such a definition in mind when he introduced the theme of hospitality to his epic poem the Odyssey.
		A multitude of reasons for the prominent position this theme plays, both in the Odyssey and perhaps in Homer’s own society, are hinted at in the introductory books, often referred to as the Telemachy.
		Just two of these, namely the hunger for news and the belief in divinity, are illustrated by the words and actions of the hosts Telemakhos and Nestor.

		That is part of any good suspense story, which is often what the Odyssey is. For example, from the beginning we know that Zeus orders Hermes to tell Calypso to release Odysseus.
		Even so, unlike his peers in age, he is immature, inexperienced, and untested in the usages of the adult world.
		The "Telemachy" will prepare him for that, the reunion with his father, and the battle with the suitors to set the house of Odysseus once again in order.

		Putting aside the question whether the author could suppose that the reader would notice the structural parallel, it seems difficult to view the four books of the Georgics as a Latin Telemachy, and, even if this were possible, writing such a poem would not suffice to lay claim to the title of Homerus Latinus.
		Furthermore, it is not only the passage from the Odyssey that forms the background of the Aristaeus: the laments Achilles addresses to his mother Thetis in Il.
		Against this background the alleged structural parallel between the Georgics and the Telemachy seems no more than accidental.

	Homer Odyssey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The first four books of the Odyssey are known as the "Telemachy" because they focus on Odysseus' son Telemachos.
		As you read the "Telemachy," ask yourself how it prepares the audience for the "Odyssey" proper.
		This line occurs 14x in the Odyssey, including 4x in the "Telemachy" (1.150, 3.67, 3.473, 4.68), and 7x in the Iliad.

	classical myth lecture notes
		- Telemachy provides a backdrop of increasing problems in Ithaka, arising from Penelope's suitors, who are getting rather pushy
		- but the main point of the Telemachy is psychological: T asserts himself with increasing composure and self-confidence.
		- the Telemachy is about psychological growth, about crossing the threshold from boyhood to manhood in difficult circumstances
