analytical blog on telemachus.

Based on the events of a heros adventure Telemachus isnt a hero in my mind. Most heros think their quests through before they just decide what they are going to do. In the Odysee Telemachus has no refusal to the call which is a step in a heros trip. Also Telemachus has no master to teach him how to finish his quest. Instead his quest it to find his master (odysseus). Once Telemachus heard that his father has either died or had chosen not to come home Telemachus decided he would search for his father. But the problem with that is he has had slim to no experience about going on long journeys and in my mind was not a very herolike desicion. Telemachus is far from a hero at this point in the book. He has no special birth, no master, no hero partner, and no knowledge of the world. Telemachus is a young man with a lost father that he cant find even if he tries. All of these examples show that Telemachus is not a hero.
