The true son of King Odysseus is Telemachus. He is mentioned in Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," as Odysseus' only legitimate son, born to him and his wife, Penelope, before Odysseus went off to fight in the Trojan War. Telemachus plays an important role in the epic as he embarks on a journey to search for his father and ultimately becomes a key figure in Odysseus' return to Ithaca.
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.
At first Telemachus thought Odysseus was an old beggar, but when Athena made Odysseus appear majestic, and instantly changed his clothing, Telemachus thought he was talking to a god.
She gives Telemachus the advice to go in search of news of his father, Odysseus.

Telemachus is the son of Odysseus, and Eumaeus is the swineherd of Odysseus.
Telemachus initially thinks Odysseus is a stranger when they reunite, as Athena has disguised Odysseus to test his son's loyalty and bravery. Telemachus only realizes the truth after Odysseus reveals their shared knowledge of a secret about their household.
Eumaeus is excited to see Telemachus because he has not seen him in a long time, and Telemachus is like a son to him. Telemachus' return also signifies a change in the household and brings hope for the future of Odysseus' house.
