Telemachus' problem in Book 1 of Homer's "The Odyssey" is the presence of the suitors who have taken over his home in Ithaca, consuming his family's wealth and pushing for his mother Penelope to choose a new husband. Telemachus struggles with asserting himself against these disrespectful suitors and finding a way to reclaim his father's house.
