Mentoring? The word 'mentor' comes from Homer's Odyssey. When Odysseus went to fight in the Trojan wars he left his son, Telemachus, in the care of the nobleman Mentor. Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, assumed the form of Mentor in order that she might give Telemachus some useful advice. Through Mentor, Athena acted as an advisor to the young Telemachus, helping him to overcome challenging obstacles.
