Pre.S. Just found out what that movie was, the cartoon movie with the ship and the sirens and the end of the earth. Actually, it isn't a Disney movie, and it's Sinbad. We should watch that.
How is "'ee" a pun on Telemachus's name?
The way I'm thinking of Telemachus is as one of those princes in the stories, but he's not that smart, and actually quite stupid, and he needs to be told what to do, as Athena needed to tell him what to do in a dream.
Now with all of these people related to the sacking of Troy and the Trojan Horse, I keep picturing certain characters (Menelous, Helen) as those from the movie Troy. We NEED to watch that movie!
There aren't many straightforward explanations of as to how people got where they are. Or perhaps it will be explained later, like how the way Odysseus blinded Poisdeon's son was explained at the end of his tale. Because it wasn't explained exactly how Telemachus was with Peisistratos.
When Odysseus tells Eumaeus that he'll leave in the morning in hopes that Eumaeus will ask him to stay longer (because Eumaeus is a nice man), I thought, Odysseus is so manipulative! He tricked Eumaeus by being a brown noser. Just adds to my feeling for Odysseus that he is self-centered and still in his own world.
