i believe that king menelaus tells telemachus that Odysseus has the strength to get home, but also has the smarts to get himself out of bad situations. but does he tell him that he is the only one left out of his 12 man crew?.....no..but this shows that that he did have the smarts, and the strength to get home
Menelaus, King of Sparta, naturtally knows Odysseus, King of Ithaca.
He and Mentor left to Pylos and Sparta to ask King Nestor and King Menelaus about the news regarding his father, Odysseus.
God
King Menelaus
Athena visits Telemachus to give him strength, courage, and encouragement. She also sets him on his way to ready for Odysseus eventual return to Ithaca. She gets Telemachus to go on a boat provided by Noemon to search for word of Odysseus' fate. He first went to Pylos, and then on to the court of Menelaus (in Sparta) to get word. She then provided several other instances of help, including protecting Telemachus, protecting Odysseus.
she was the wife of menelaus, the spartan commander, who took in odysseus' son telemachus when he sailed for news of his father. she told a prophecy that oddyseus would return home before telemachus left for ithaca, his homeland.
I think its Odysseus's son Telemachus
His son , Telemachus.
If this question meant the host of Telemachus on his journey before the return of Odysseus to Ithaca, it was Menelaus the king of Sparta.
He had to go fight in the Trojan war
Palamedes, Menelaus, Nestor.
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.
