Abstract

This paper examines the itinerary and rites of Telemachus’ journey in search of news concerning his missing father, from his travel arrangements in Ithaca until his safe arrival back home. The author offers a special emphasis on the organization of the expeditionary group of hetairoi, including the prevailing special relationship among them. To conclude, this study will attempt to make a comparison between the significance of Odysseus’ odyssey and Telemachus’ learning journey, both from an historical and symbolic point of view, together with their literary reception within the Western tradition.
