Telemachus - He was the son of King Odysseus, of Trojan
War and Odyssey fame, and Queen Penelope. He was just a baby when his
father went to fight in Troy, and while his father was absent for nearly
twenty years he grew up to manhood.
While still an infant, and before his father left for war, Telemachus
fell into the ocean and some dolphins saved him. To pay tribute,
Odysseus wore the emblem of the dolphins as a symbol on his shield. The
name Telemachus means “far from battle.”
The goddess Athena, went to Ithaca, the
island kingdom ruled by Odysseus, and advised Telemachus to eject the
troublesome suitors of his mother from his house, who were insisting
that Penelope give up hope of Odysseus' return, and instead marry one of
them.
The suitors refused to leave and eventually, after many adventures,
father and son were re-united in Ithaca. But because Athena had
disguised Odysseus, he was not recognized by Telemachus. Once the
identity of Odysseus was revealed, the two of them slaughtered
the obnoxious suitors, who had set up drunken camp in his palace and
were bullying Queen Penelope. It's a quintessential coming of age story.
