Athena transforms Odysseus and makes him appear majestic so much so that Telemachus mistakes Odysseus for a god. Odysseus tells Telemachus that he is indeed his father, and it takes a little time for him to convince him of this.
Telemachus is Odysseus's son.
Odysseus persuades Telemachus by revealing his true identity, proving he is still alive and capable of taking down the suitors. He reassures Telemachus that they have the gods on their side and that together, father and son, they can overcome the suitors' tyranny and restore justice to their home.
Telemachus is the son of Odysseus, and Eumaeus is the swineherd of Odysseus.
Telemachus first thinks that Odysseus is a beggar, thanks to Athena's disguise of him. After Odysseus' transformation, Telemachus believes him to be a god, until Odysseus tells Telemachus of his identity.
Kill the suiters
Odysseus convinced his son, Telemachus, of his identity by revealing a secret detail about their home that only he would know. Additionally, Odysseus demonstrated his skill with the bow, which was a unique and recognizable characteristic of his. This combination of personal knowledge and a special skill convinced Telemachus of his father's true identity.
In "The Odyssey," it takes a combination of revealing personal knowledge only Odysseus would know, displaying physical proof like scars or marks, and proving strength and skill in familiar tasks like handling the bow to convince Telemachus of his father's identity. Odysseus ultimately reveals himself through a series of tests and intimate conversations with Telemachus to cement his true identity.
Telemachus is the son of Odysseus
Telemachus was the son of Odysseus, I don't believe he put him to work.
according to several other websites i have read, it says that at first Telemachus doesn't believe that it is actually Odysseus when he reveals himself to him but Odysseus has to convince him a whole bunch and when Telemachus finally believes him, he is happy that he has found his father and it is a tearful moment for the both of them.
Odysseus implicitly tells Telemachus not to string his bow, even though he can. Odysseus later signals Telemachus to prepare for battle after Odysseus has performed the feat of strength and skill.
