As far as the reunion of father and son is concerned, we see a key moments in this event in Odyssey 13 and 15. In Odyssey 13, when Odysseus returns to Ithaca, he encountered Athena, who disguises him as a beggar and tells him to go first to the hut of the swineherd Eumaeus.

Similarly, in Odyssey 15, Athena visits Telemachus, who has been out searching for his father. The goddess meets him in Lacedaemon (Sparta) and tells him it is time to return home to Ithaca. When Telemachus arrives in Ithaca, she also tells him to go to the hut of the swineherd Eumaeaus.

What persuades Telemachus to continue his search for his father?

The goddess, Athene, goes in disguise to Ithaca to encourage Telemachus to deal in a manly fashion with the Suitors who are courting his mother, Penelope, and with finding out what has happened to his father. She plays a large role in aiding Telemachus to search for his father, primarily because she was very fond of Odysseus and wanted him to return home to Ithaca. Telemachus would also play a role in the battle in the hall, very important for Odysseus' success.
