In Homer's Odyssey, under the influence of Athena, Telemachus leaves Ithaca in search of knowledge of his father who left for Troy twenty years ago. He first visits Nestor who regales him with tales of Odysseus' glory. Telemachus then departs with Nestor's son Peisistratus who accompanies him to see Menelaus and Helen. While there Menelaus and Helen tell complementary yet contradictory stories of his father's exploits at Troy. This print depicts this happening as he stands in the colonaded interrior and he burries his face in his robes in grief seemingly giving up, to the suprise of Menelaus enthroned at right and Helen standing at left, who extends her hand towards him.
