| Summary | "Les aventures de Télémaque suivies des aventures d'Aristonoüs" by Fénelon is a fictional narrative written in the late 17th century. The work is an allegorical tale that centers around Telemaque, the son of Ulysses, as he embarks on a quest to find his father. Along the way, he encounters various characters and adventures that impart moral lessons and insights into leadership, wisdom, and virtue. At the start of the narrative, Télémaque is introduced as he seeks information about his father, Ulysses, who is missing after the Trojan War. Guided by the goddess Minerva, who appears in the guise of Mentor, Télémaque finds himself shipwrecked on the island of Calypso. The goddess, mourning for Ulysses, welcomes him warmly but also tempts him with the offer of immortality if he chooses to remain with her. Amidst the enchantments of the island, Mentor warns Télémaque to remain vigilant against seduction and to focus on his quest for knowledge and resolute character, which are necessary for a future ruler. This opening portion sets the stage for Télémaque's development through trials and the exploration of themes surrounding education, moral integrity, and the responsibilities of leadership.
