Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Comparison of Odyssey and Book I of Augustine's Confessions. It needs to be at least 1500 words.

This wisdom is manifested in his knowledge that if he stops Nestor's hospitality will delay him even more. And prudence is shown in Telemachus' ability to control his desires for comfort in Nestor's house and his decision to endure hardship at sea. Next Telemachus' confidence and hospitality are shown when he takes in Theochlamenos the seer. In the beginning of the poem Telemachus is not confident enough in his ability to provide hospitality to Athena disguised as Mentor, but now Telemachus is happy to provide the seer with refuge. Another proof of Telemachus' virtues is his confidence in ordering his mother and her maids to comply with his will. Thus Telemachus possesses the virtues necessary to be a ruler: courage, wisdom, prudence, confidence, and hospitality. Now we come to the re-encounter of father and son. They had spent twenty years away from each other enduring trials and tribulations that prepared them for their eventual encounter. Odysseus and Telemachus both arrived on the island of Ithaca within roughly the same time period. And they both, out of patience and wisdom, seek refuge in the swineherd's shelter. Odysseus' patience is demonstrated when he refrains from revealing himself to his son until Eumaius has left. When he and Telemachus first see each other, and before Telemachus knows that he is speaking to his father, an interesting event occurs in which demonstrates their humility and likeness to each other. The event involves Odysseus offering his seat to Telemachus and Telemachus refusal of the offer. The importance of this event is that Odysseus, who is disguised as a beggar, is a greater man than Telemachus and is humble enough to offer his seat.

Odysseus and Telemachus now concentrate on the task at hand: killing the suitors. Even though Telemachus has been told of his father's great deeds all his life. he still doesn't believe that it is possible to overtake so many suitors. But Odysseus comforts him by saying that the gods are in their favor.
