Telemachus leaves Ithaca to go to Pylos, the city of Neleus. Telemachus spends a night in Pherae, home of Diocles. Finally, Telemachus arrives at the home of Menelaus, Lacedaemon.
When Menelaus gives Telemachus a parting gift of a silver mixing bowl decorated with gold, he is practicing which ancient ritual? The answer is: "xenia".
Athena helps Telemachus by telling him that his father is not dead. She also tells him to seek information about his father from Menelaus and King Nestor.
The find people sacrificing bulls to Poseidon.
Menelaus gave Helen a silver bowl and an embroidered robe
Menelaus wished to give Telemachus "three stallions and a chariot burnished bright...and a gorgeous cup." Telemachus regretfully declined these gifts for his own reasons. In exchange, Menelaus instead gave Telemachus "a mixing bowl...solid silver finished off with a lip of gold."
Telemachus accepts a silver bowl with a gold lip from Menelaus.
