Les Aventures de Télémaque Fils D'Ulysse et celles d'Aristonous
By M. De Fenelon
Published by Chez Seguin: Avignon 1804

English Translation: " The Adventures of Telemachus, Son of Ulysses and those of Aristonous"

" Les aventures de Télémaque, fils d'Ulysse (English: The adventures of Telemachus, son of Ulysses) is a didactic novel by François Fénelon, Archbishop of Cambrai, who in 1689 became tutor to the seven-year-old Duc de Bourgogne (grandson of Louis XIV and second in line to the French throne). It was published anonymously in 1699 and reissued in 1717 by his family. The slender plot fills out a gap in Homer's Odyssey, recounting the educational travels of Telemachus, son of Ulysses, accompanied by his tutor, Mentor, who is revealed early on in the story to be Minerva, goddess of wisdom, in disguise.."
