The first four books of the Odyssey can be read as the tale of Odysseus' troubled son, Telemachus, a young man brought up without a father and treated with contempt by his mother's suitors. In his travels in search of information about his father, Telemachus learns how to be a man. Dr. Fleming's introductory comments and the group discussion make an insightful and entertaining introduction to this early masterpiece of Western literature.
