Athena, the goddess of wisdom, appeals to Zeus, the king of the gods, to intervene and allow Odysseus to return home. Meanwhile, in Ithaca, Odysseus's son Telemachus sets out to find his father. He travels to Pylos and Sparta, where he learns of his father's adventures and receives guidance from Nestor and Menelaus.
