In Homer's 8th century BC Greek epic poem "Odyssey", Odysseus, upon leaving town to do battle for an extended period, could not have done better than to leave his son, Telemachus, in the care of a trusted friend, Mentor. Thus, "mentorship" can be seen as a key process, whereby a more experienced individual takes on an advisor role for a less-experienced colleague.
