1. Initial: The initial situation is when Telemachos and his crew arrive at Menelaos's palace. (Pages 40/41) Reversal: The reversal is when Telemachos learns that his father, Odysseus, is being held captive on Calypso's island. (Page 54: "'Odysseus Laertiades, the man of Ithaca! I saw him in an island weeping hot tears, in the house of Calypso the nymph who holds him by force; and he cannot get away to his native land, since he has neither men nor galleys to take over the broad back of the sea.'")
