Telemachus and Mentor/Athena sacrifice dozens of bulls to Poseidon for Telemachus's voyage, and Telemachus asks Nestor about Odysseus. Nestor only remembers that Agamemnon and Menalaus began arguing. Nestor hopes that Athena will be as kind to Telemachus as she was to Odysseus and heard that suitors had taken over the prince's house. He hopes that Telmachus will earn the renown that Orestes earned as well. Nestor tells Telemachus that Aegusthis, a coward, stayed behind then married and seduced his wife, Clytemnestra. Then Aegusthis murdered Agammenon, then Oresthes killed Aegusthis and Clytemnestra. Then Nestor sent his son, Pisistratus with Telemachus to Sparta, Athena transforms into an eagle before Pylos's court, stays behind to protect Telemachus.
