Telemachus is in Pylos, where he hopes to learn
From Nestor, if there’s news about Odysseus’ return
Nestor tells the story of the Argives’ return trips
How few returned in timely manner with all of their ships
Of Agamemnon’s murder by his wife and her new beau
Avenged now by Orestes, such a dashing young hero!
How Menelaus got detained for years on his way back
He did not thank the gods enough after the Trojan sack
Athene’s bored, so turns into a bird and flies away
“With her help” exclaims Nestor “you will surely be OK”
News of Odysseus himself, though, Nestor can’t provide
So it’s off to Menelaus, Pisistratus as a guide.

I hope something's going to happen soon! It's all reminiscing and prophecising at the moment.
