   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.31 sec.

Telemachus

In Greek mythology, son of Odysseus and Penelope. He was a child when his father set out for the Trojan wars. In Homer's Odyssey, he attempted to control his mother's suitors while his father was believed dead, but on Odysseus' return after 20 years, he helped him to kill them, with the support of the goddess Athena.

During his father's absence he set sail from Ithaca to search for him, visiting Pylos and Sparta.
