Telemachus instructed Piraeus to entertain Theoclymenus in Piraeus’s own house.
“Then he said to his friend Piraeus, ‘Piraeus, son of Clytius, you have throughout shown yourself the most willing to serve me of all those who have accompanied me to Pylos; I wish you would take this stranger to your own house and entertain him hospitably till I can come for him.’ ”
Piraeus was present at the Ithacan place of assembly.
“Telemachus went through, and out of, the cloisters spear in hand—not alone, for his two fleet dogs went with him. Minerva endowed him with a presence of such divine comeliness that all marvelled at him as he went by, and the suitors gathered round him with fair words in their mouths and malice in their hearts; but he avoided them, and went to sit with Mentor, Antiphus, and Halitherses, old friends of his father’s house, and they made him tell them all that had happened to him. Then Piraeus came up with Theo clymenus, whom he had escorted through the town to the place of assembly, whereon Telemachus at once joined them. Piraeus was first to speak: ‘Telemachus,’ said he, ‘I wish you would send some of your women to my house to take away the presents Menelaus gave you.’ ”
