Paul, that's a great story. I never did make that connection,
even though they made me read the Odyssey at least twice when
I was a student. Likely I skipped that part....as many others....
Stories/information on word origins and word usage are nearly
always interesting/fun. This was both. Thanks. May all your
workshops fill.......
regards
Dannon Rhudy

Subject: Mentor
In this talk of how important it is to have a mentor, it's also
important to remember who Mentor was. Most people don't realize that
Mentor was a person, although probably fictional. In Homer's "The
Odyssey", Ulysses goes off to the Trojan War and leaves his infant son
Telemachaus in the care of an old family servant, Mentor, who is too
old and crippled to go to war. I believe Mentor was the person who'd
schooled Ulysses in the arts of war. After 17 years, Ulysses makes
his way home to Ithaca, and finds his wife Penelope beset by hordes of
suitors who believe Ulysses dead and who are eating him out of house
and home. Penelope has been weaving a wedding shawl, promising she
will pick one of the suitors and marry him when it's done, but she's
been unravelling it every night. Ulysses enters his house disguised
as a beggar. Telemachus treats him with courtesy and respect, feeds
him and gives him new clothes. Ulysses sees that Mentor has raised
his son to be a strong and ethical young man, so he reveals himself to
Telemachus and Mentor, and the three of them get swords and kill all
the suitors.
So remember the moral of this story: Get yourself someone who will
teach you everything you need to know, and when you're ready you can
kill all the bastards!
