Helen regards Telemachus with fondness and sees him as a respectful and brave young man. She admires his determination to find his father Odysseus and believes he has inherited his father's wisdom and strength.
Various things happen to Telemachus, if that is the son that is spoken of. King Agamemnon drops Telemachus in front of Odysseus' plow to test if Odysseus is truly insane. Telamachus is blessed by Athena several times. Telemachus is helped to be raised by Eumaeus, the swineherd. Telemachus is nearly the victim of assassination plots by his mother's suitors. Telemachus does much in his life, so it would help to be more specific.
Telemachus was the son of Odysseus and Penelope. It was Helen of Troy who noticed the tears of Telemachus and told him that he looked like Odysseus.
Helen
Meneleus and Helen recognize Telemachus as Odysseus' son primarily through his resemblance to his father, particularly in his appearance and demeanor. Additionally, Telemachus' demeanor and the way he carries himself evoke memories of Odysseus, reinforcing their connection. Helen also recalls the prophecy that Odysseus' son would come seeking news of his father, which further confirms Telemachus' identity.
When Telemachus arrives at the palace of Menelaus and Helen, he is greeted warmly and with hospitality. Menelaus, recognizing Telemachus as the son of Odysseus, welcomes him with kindness and respect, honoring the legacy of his father. Helen, too, expresses her admiration for Telemachus, and they offer him food and drink, showcasing the traditional Greek value of xenia, or guest-friendship. This warm reception reinforces the bonds of loyalty and respect among the characters.
If this question meant the host of Telemachus on his journey before the return of Odysseus to Ithaca, it was Menelaus the king of Sparta.
