Athena 5- Nestor's palace, Pylos

Still under the guise of Mentor

I inspired Nestor to recount the fates 

Of the house of the Atrides Agamemnon 

Particularly the revenge of Oreste 

In order to built Telemachus's spirit

In case Penelope was to remarry

But duty calls 

And while Telemachus is edified 

I need to check on the crew

For Telemachus plans to go 

To the blond Menelaus 

On Nestor advice 

To make sure my ward

Is treated with all the respect 

He is due as an honoured guest 

I reveal myself to the assembly

Under my favourite guise, the owl

To the stunned guests 

They all know now who 

Was in their midst

I know they'll attend to his wishes

To the godly faced Telemachus.
