Telemachos and Mentor arrives in Plyos, where he meets Nestor, the King of Plyos. Nestor makes many sacrifices of bulls to Posidon. Telemachos asks Nestor if he knows where and what his father is up too. Nestor doesn't have any clue about Odysseus, but he said that there was a fallout for Agememnon and Menelaus. Meneleaus set sail for Greece, and Agememnon stayed for another day and continued his sacrifices in Troy. Nestor left with Menelaus while Odysseus stayed with Agememnon.
Telemachos will renown his defense agianst his father that Orestes, won in defense of his father. Telemachos asks Nestor about the fate of Agememnon. Aegisthus, Clytemnestra's boyfriend and Agememnon's wife, allows her cowardly boyfriend the approval the murder her husband. Both Clytemnestra and Aegisthus were going to take over the kingdom, if it wasn't for Orestes's actions, which he took and murdered them. Nestor sent his son Pisistatrus along with Telemachos to Sparta.

Macbeth Movie

My opinion about this Macbeth Movie (1999), is that it doesn't have that good of acting and music. The music is just techno music and chasing stuff. They use guns when this was taking place back in medeval times. I would much rather prefer to watch a Macbeth that was filmed in the 70s or earlier. They actually had a correct idea of what Macbeth was like and act it a lot better than these people do in this one.

Macduff

"What has this country come tooo!? Nothing but straight madness and inhumanity! Macbeth is the King, Duncan's sons have fled the area never to be found! What will they ever do now that they're father is dead? They fear whoever may have murdered their father is after them now. Poor Duncan, such a loyal trustworthy man. His soul will be highly missed by his piers. This land was made and ruled by this man, and now taking his rightful spot is new King Macbeth! Macbeth, hail thee! You are rightfully known now as King! I bow down to you friend, and by gods name in vein, may you lead this noble town with great honor.
