Oddyssey book 2-4 Menelaus and Helen as proof that oddyseus knowly said west to open western routes to the greeks

In book two and three we see the love affair with calypso play itself out, more importantly the deeds of Telemachus tells much of the hidden lessons concerning Greek history of the time. Telemarcus is sent to King Nestor to ask about Odysseus. King Nestor sends Telemachus to Sparta to meet with Menelaus and Helen who are celebrating the betrothal of their son and daughter. Menelaus recounts his own return from troy and exalts Odysseus heroism at troy. He also tells Telemachus that his father Odysseus is known to be a live and on the island of calypso.
So Meneleus knew where Odysseus was and he was not simply lost at sea during a storm. He knew that Odysseus had traveled west to said island. This portrays that the Greeks knowingly send Odysseus and his ships to said island. This further substantiates the belief that Odysseus set say west past the pillars of Hercules and was blown by fate to this course damned to sail based on his vocation as a island king. The storms that threw him west did not set his course west. The course was set purposefully and Menelaus knew it The suitors who are seduced by what Penelope represents yet are pushed away are trying to via for Odysseus kingdom while he is known to be a;live and on a journey for the Greeks. It might be argued that said journey is not generally publicized but knowledge of his well being and locatiuon , which contradicts a misfortune loss at sea, is a mission from the Greeks kept as info for those who needed to know like the other nobles of Greece. This proves that the suitors wanted to steal his kingdom instantly though the king lived and they knew it. Odysseus journey was important because it opened the routes west of the Mediterranean. Ass already mentioned it opened the routes to old Atlantis that the Greeks had interacted with prior to the rise of the Minoans. Hence the second troy and the last obstacle keeping the Greeks from open sea travel and reconnecting to their old trade routes that were part of their legend, the Creeks instantly set sail west taking advantage of their new found freedom at sea.
