Sailing to Sicily

Chapter 2 addresses the partnership between Odysseus and the seer Theoklymenos in the Odyssey. I argue that the seer and the hero operate as a coherent pair within the framework of colonization and that Theoklymenos aids Odysseus-as-oikist in effecting the metaphorical refoundation of Ithaka. Theoklymenos and Odysseus reveal that the pairing of the seer and oikist is a possible and productive construct. Yet Homer’s presentation of Theoklymenos as a doublet of Odysseus also suggests the potential for competition between the seer and oikist in post-Homeric foundation tales.
