Iros, Mentes, Mentor and Noemon - Characters, The Odyssey | The Odyssey by Homer- Summary, Themes & Characters - Novels PDF Download

Iros

Sometimes spelled Irus. Also known as Arnaeus. The real beggar of the palace in Ithaka. He gets territorial when a new beggar (who we know to be Odysseus in disguise) starts poking around his turf. Possibly one of the most hilarious scenes in the Odyssey comes when Iros challenges Odysseus to a fight, and the hero responds by ripping off his shirt and terrifying his opponent. 


Mentes

Athene first takes the disguise of this man, friend of Odysseus and ruler of the Taphians, when she comes to Ithaka to council Telemachos 


Mentor

Mentor can be confusing in the Odyssey since the name either refers to Mentor, the elderly Ithakan, or Mentor, Athene in yet another guise. (Imagine how much easier everyone's life would be if the gods weren't so into these mind-games.) Either way, he's a good guy. 


Noemon 

A wealthy ship-seller in Ithaka. Athene obtains a ship for Telemachos from him, and then he accidentally spills the beans to the suitors.
