Telemachus sets out to find his father so that he can either confirm his father's death or survival. He is told to do so by Athena disguised as Mentor. If he hears that his father is still alive, he can wait for at least another 12 months. If he hears that Odysseus is dead, he can mourn his father's death and marry off his mother.
