No It was never revealed the he had any knowlege that he was speaking to Athena.
*** You are wrong... I just read it. "Though he said this, his heart knew he had met the deathless goddess: she had been his guest."
Maybe you should check yourself. Just saying.
Actually I did not. When correctly interpreted, while speaking with Athena, Telemachus was not aware that it was the goddess herself. It was after the interlude that he felt he had spoken with Athena herself. It never difinitivly says yes he knew it was Athena or not. Perhaps I'm splitting hairs, but having read The Odyssey several times, and written numerous papers on the subject I feel pretty confident with my answer. I beg pardon, I dont mean to sound like a snot.
