The word kleos in the Iliad and the Odyssey distinctly supposes an oral narrative--principally an "oral history," a "life story" or ultimately an "oral tradition." A hero's kleos defines him as a fully gendered social being. This book is a meditation on this concept as expressed and experienced in the adult society in which Telemachos finds himself.
