Telemachus+2



Why, oh why, do you torture me, Great goddess Athena, What have you done? My father has just died, And I only knew him for five years. Two of which I was a baby, And three after he returned home from war. I've heard of his greatness, but how would I know? Athena you were the one, the only one, who favored my father. You helped him through his tough times; Can you now help me through mine? I was not strong enough to fight off the suitors, But I now need that strength I once lacked. Help me to stay strong, Help me to rule Ithaca. Athena let me be a noble king. That is my only wish.
