He had to go fight in the Trojan war
The true son of King Odysseus is Telemachus. He is mentioned in Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," as Odysseus' only legitimate son, born to him and his wife, Penelope, before Odysseus went off to fight in the Trojan War. Telemachus plays an important role in the epic as he embarks on a journey to search for his father and ultimately becomes a key figure in Odysseus' return to Ithaca.
Telemachus was 0, or newly born when he met Odysseus for the first time. When Telemachus first met Odysseus after Odysseus' return from the war he was 20 years old.
Ah, what a wonderful question! Telemachus is just a young lad at the start of The Odyssey, only about 20 years old. He's at a pivotal point in his life, searching for his father Odysseus and learning what it means to be a strong and courageous leader. Just like Telemachus, we all have moments of growth and discovery on our own unique journeys.
Odysseus was an hereditary king of Ithaca, so he was probably born there. (There is no specific mention of his birth - but there probably would have been if he was not native to his own kingdom). In the Ancient world the fall of Troy was usually reckoned to around 1184 (though some other dates were also taken seriously). Odysseus would be around 40 at the time of the fall, having him born around 1220 BC.
Odysseus was born a Prince of the city state of Ithaca. His father was Laertis and his mother Anticlea. He was famous because he participated in the war of Troy between Greeks and Trojans which lasted 10 years. It took him 10 years to return home and meet his family, his beloved wife Penelope and his son Telemachus. He had to kill all 40 princes that occupied his palace dwelling about the marriage of Penelope with one of them. Both events have been presented in two epic poems Iliad and Odyssey by Όμηρος.

ITHACA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Odysseus was born into royalty as the King of Ithaca. His father, Laertes, was also the King of Ithaca, making Odysseus a prince by birth.
Telemachus was 0, or newly born when he met Odysseus for the first time. When Telemachus first met Odysseus after Odysseus' return from the war he was 20 years old.
Athena instructs Odysseus that he must tell Telemachus his story. She said to Odysseus: "High-born son of Laertes, ready Odysseus, tell now your story to your son. Hide it no longer. Then having planned the suitors' death and doom, go forward both of you into the famous city. And I myself will not be far away, for I am eager for the combat."
Menelaus notices Telemachus's hands and feet. (weird, i know). While talking to his wife, Helen (the Helen) he says, "Now that you mention it, I see the likeness too. . .Odysseus'feet were like the boy's, his hands as well, his glancing eyes, his head, and the fine shock of his hair." How he remembered all that about Odysseus, I don't know. Menelaus also realizes Telemachus must be Odysseus's son because when he speaks of him, Telemachus breaks down and starts crying right there.
The Odyssey is the story of how Odysseus returned home to Ithaca after the fall of the city of Troy. Troy is believed to have fallen around 1190 BC after an extended siege (10 years according to legend). Since Odysseus was king of Ithaca and had a new born son when he left for the war and who was around 20 when he returned, Odysseus was probably born around 1210 BC or before and lived until after 1180 BC.
Roger Telemachus was born in 1973.

Odysseus says that the proudest day of his life was the day he won the Trojan War by using the Trojan Horse strategy to infiltrate the city of Troy and defeat the Trojans.
He had two sons, Telemachus and Poliporthes (born after Odysseus's return from Troy), with Penelope. With Circe: Telegonus, Ardeas, Latinusith With Calypso: Nausinous With Kallidike: Polypoetes --Wikipedia
While Odysseus is plowing and destroying his fields, Agamemnon takes the new born Telemachus and places him in front of Odysseus' path. Odysseus avoids Telemachus, so that he does not kill him, proving that he is sane.
