Telemachus is Consoled by Termosiris, Priest of Apollo, from The Adventures of Telemachus, Book 2 1808 Italy. These twelve drawings depict scenes from the French novel The Adventures of Telemachus (Les aventures de TÈlÈmaque) by FranÁois FÈnelon. First published in 1699, it was one of the most popular books of the 1700s and 1800s.Telemachus is the son of Ulysses from Homerís Odyssey, the first four books of which describe the heroís search for his father. FÈnelon invented further adventures for Telemachus, in which he undergoes many trials while accompanied by his tutor, Mentor, who is actually the goddess Minerva (the embodiment of wisdom) in human disguise. A scathing critique of autocratic government and a diatribe against war, the book denounces luxury and decadence and calls for the simplicity and equality FÈnelon believed ancient Greece best exemplified.Pinelli illustrated scenes from books 1ñ8 and one scene from book 18, and probably planned to illustrate more from the 24 books
