MENTOR

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 146 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MENTOR , in
Greek
  legend, the son of Alcimus and the faithful friend of Odysseus. During the
absence
  of the latter, Mentor was entrusted with the care of his
household
  and the guardian-ship of his son Telemachus. The word " mentor " is now used in the sense of a wise and trustworthy adviser, ameaning probably connected with the
etymology
  of the name, from the root mon-, seen, in Lat. monere, to advise, monitor, adviser.
The New
English
  Dictionary points out that the transferred use is due less to
Homer
 's Odyssey than to
Fenelon
 's Telemaque, in which Mentor is a somewhat prominent
character
 .
