Odysseus is Telemachuses father and if your referring to qualities then Odysesseus is much more experienced and trained that Telemachus because Telemachus matured without his father
Telemachus
Telemachus' strengths in The Odyssey can be reflected from his father's heroism. Telemachus was only a month old when his father left to fight in the Trojan War. Growing up he heard story's of his father's greatness and all of the things he accomplished in life. Telemachus made it his point to follow in his father's footsteps to greatness.
The climax of the meeting between Odysseus and his son Telemachus in "The Odyssey" is when Odysseus reveals his true identity to Telemachus after they successfully defeat the suitors in their house. This moment marks a significant turning point in the story as father and son are finally reunited and can now work together to reclaim their home and punish those who have wronged them.
He at first does not believe it is actually his father.....then his father explains that Athena disguised him and then Telemachus is overjoyed of course!
