While I was working on something utterly different, for reasons only
Platonic recollection may explain, it suddenly occurred to me that Athena's
story, which she told to Telemachus as she was encouraging him, about how
Mentes' father gave Odysseus poison for his arrows, might be seen as
proleptic, pointing to how Odysseus will use arrow and trickiness
(symbolized by the poison) to restore his household at the end. I have
never seen a comment like this on the passage about the arrows. Any
comments or references much appreciate
