Odyssey Book 1&2

Book 1
It's after the Trojan War and Penelope's husband Odysseus hasn't returned. it's been 20 years. Poseidon is making his journey home difficult because of a grudge he has against him for poking out the eye of his son. All the gods are chilling having dinner together, except for Poseidon, he's probably getting his revenge. Zeus's daughter Athene asks her father to spare her favorite mortal Odysseus and have mercy. Zeus thinks Poseidon needs to grow up about it eventually because all the other gods like Odysseus so much. Meanwhile Odysseus is being held captive on an island with the witch name Kalypso because she loves him and wants to marry him or something. Athene goes to Odysseus's son disguised as Mentes where she sees many suitors laying around lazily, wasting away the family's food. The suitors aren't hospitable at all, which is a big No No in Greek culture. The son Telemachos implies that things would be different if his father were around to get rid of the suitors trying to get with his mother. Athene tells him not to give up finding his father, she fills him with a vision of his father and leaves. He tells the suitors they need to leave at dawn, one of the men protests saying that Ithaka needs a king. Telemachos goes to bed thinking about what Athene told him. 

Book 2 
Telemachos calls for a meeting with the suitors and all Ithakan men. Everyone wants to know why theres a meeting because it's been a long time and Telemachos complains about the suitors eating all his food, drinking his wine and trying to get with his mother. Antinoös argues this and says that Penelope delayed marrying one of the suitors even though it is her duty as queen to give her people a king. She said she wouldn't marry until she finished weaving a funeral shroud for Odysseus's father who isn't even dead. A maid blabbed that she wove all day and then unravels it at night. After his story he tells Telemachos to either get rid of Penelope or make her choose a suitor. Telemachos refuses and then Zeus sends down two eagles to attack the city people. He is done arguing with people about whether or not his father is dead and decides to sail to Pylos for news of his father. Mentor, a friend of Odysseus's speaks up and says it's a shame that such a large community hasn't spoken against the suitors.That night Telemachos prays to whichever God visited him. Athene hears his prayer and comes to him as Mentor and tells him that she will help find a boat and to get supplies ready for the journey. He leaves immediately with a group of trusted men and Athene as Mentor goes with him.
