Peisistratus (Odyssey)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peisistratus or Peisistratos or Pisistratus (Ancient Greek: Πεισίστρατος)[1] was a figure in Greek mythology, the youngest son of Nestor and became an intimate friend of Telemachus the son of Odysseus on their first meeting. Peisistratus travelled with Telemachus on his unsuccessful search for his lost father (Odyssey III, 36, 400). Like Telemachus, he was only a very small child when his father and two brothers, Antilochus and Thrasymedes, left to fight in the Trojan War.
