Comparing and Contrasting the Journeys of Odysseus’ and Telemachus’ in The Odyssey

The trip between Odysseus and Telemacos is very similar and different. They are parallel to each other in several respects, but are completely different at other times. Telemachus has become a cowardly shy and unconfirmed boy who was young since childhood, without her father. As a son of a world famous father, he has more credit. This is a very unacceptable reputation. His journey, and the killing of his pursuers, really showed that his journey and problems through the book made him a shy and timid boy to become a mature man.

Under Homer 's Odyssey, under the guidance of Athena, Telemacos tried to get his father' s knowledge of Odysseus using the first four books. At the beginning of the trip at Telemachos, Odysseus was absent from his house in Ithaca for 20 years due to the Trojan horse war and Poseidon's involvement. During his absence, the house of Odysseus was occupied by pursuers searching for the hands of Penelope. Telemacos first visited Nestor, was welcomed by the elderly, and was impressed with the story of his father's glory. Then Telemachus took the son of Nestor, Peisistratus, to Menelaus' Hall and his wife Helen. So, as Menelaus and Helen talked about complementary and contradictory stories of his father 's work at Troy, Telemachus was again seen as a guest.

There were many situations throughout the Odyssey, and Odysseus and Telemacos were very kind. Early in the story, when Telemacos began to understand his father's journey, he was shown to be very kind by Nestor and Menelaus before he knew his identity. At the same time, after returning home, his family's proposer took home the owner 's death as a parcel after returning home. Here, Odyssey shows a big contrast between good and evil. They were also very warm and hospitable when Odysseus arrived at the coast of Scheria and was welcomed by Phaeacians. After his visit, Phaeacians loaded a ship for Odysseus and then took him off. Immediately Poseidon learned this, changed the ship to a stone and submerged it to the bottom of the sea. This is an example that does not do hospitality. This indicates that Zeus rewards hospitality unless Zeus interferes with other gods.

Homer 's entire Odyssey, Odysseus and Telemacos have faced a broad journey that led to their deep development. At the beginning of the epic, Telemacos is a young boy who does not know how to protect his family from the pursuit seeking to pursue it. Odysseus has been apart from years ago and can not teach her son how to become a leader or how to protect herself. - Telemacos is the son of Odysseus and Odyssey Penelope. He grew up without a father. He matured as a man and forced to become a father's man. Telemacos needs to find a way to respect it, it makes him feel more responsible than ordinary people of his age.
