This article examines Telemachus' journey to Pylos and Sparta in the Odyssey, and interprets it as a formative experience for the young prince based on his social position. The narrative presents Telemachus' growth as that of a prince who must adhere to the characteristics of a Homeric leader and familiarize himself with the heroic world he lives in.
This article seeks to offer some considerations on Telemachus' journey to Pylos and Sparta (Hom. Od. 1-4), interpreting it in the light of his social position as heir of a basileus. Can the beginning of the Odyssey represent a sort of formation for the young prince? And how does the text support this reading? After a brief review of the features of a Homeric basileus, it will be argued that the narrative presents the growth of Telemachus as that of a young prince who needs to comply with those features, and become acquainted with the heroic world he lives in at peace.
