In book 1, Telemachus tells the suitors that he will officially give them notice to leave in the morning. He tells the suitors that if they persist in eating at his house, Jove will reckon with them and they will eventually fall in his house (thinly veiled death-threats), with no man left to avenge them.

He also tells the suitors to enjoy themselves and not fight, so that they can heard the bard Phemius. He also tells them that the visitor was an old friend of his father Odysseus; Mentes, son of Anchialus, chief of the Taphians.
