A venerated geezer at the time of the Trojan War and a legendary horseman from days of yore, Nestor (Deasy) was a sort of Polonious-type, better known for dispensing outmoded advice than for achievements won in the execution thereof. Too old to fight at Troy himself, this master of war never failed to urge young men to do so. In seeking Odysseus, Telemachus (Stephen) first visited Nestor, where he heard a wealth of opinion and learned little information of use.
