    Telemachus point of view

          Telemachus was the son of Odysseus and Penelope. He was born in the city of Ithica, and has

been living with his mother and taking care of her while her father was away on the Trojan war. He

was annoyed at the fact that the suiters were trying to marry his mother, Penelope. His mother and

him were not sure about whether or not they should have accepted the suiters requests on marriage,

this is because they were unsure about Odysseuses wearabouts, they didn't know if he was still alive

or not. All the other gods except Athena felt compassionate over Odysseuses situation so Athena

decided to help Telemachus and his family. She disguised herself as Minerva and helped Telemachus

out by insisting that he continues to support his mother.
