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.
