Many times, the most interesting character in a piece of literature is neither the protagonist nor the antagonist. Despite the fact that Telemachos is not traditionally labeled as the epic hero of Homer’s The Odyssey, he does show an important transition from childhood to adulthood as the epic progresses. During the opening books of The Odyssey, the reader learns that Telemachos is a son of Odysseus, and that has not seen his father in twenty years. At the beginning of the story, Telemachos is a somewhat out of his element when it comes to being assertive in dealing with the suitors. His intentions of remaining devoted to his mother and maintaining his father’s estate are truly genuine, but he is unsure of how to protect them in the presence of the aggressive suitors.
