Mentor was the trusted counsellor of Odysseus. Before Odysseus set sail for the Trojan War he made Mentor guardian to his son Telemachus. Mentor was friend, advisor and teacher to Telemachus, helping him grow into a noble hearted, clear thinking prince.

Mentor also advised Penelope, Odysseus' wife. With Odysseus gone twenty years, many men tried to woo Penelope and take over the kingdom of Ithaca. It was Mentor who came up with the plan - Penelope insisted to her suitors that she must first weave a sacred cloth for Artemis, goddess of the moon, and only once she had completed her task could she choose among them. But every night, once they had fallen into a drunken sleep, she would unravel what she had woven that day.

Mentor also helped Odysseus reclaim his kingdom when he returned from the war.

How did Mentor know what to do and what to advise? Mentor was Athene, goddess of wisdom, in disguise.
