Telemachus invites Theoclymenus, the soothsayer, to accompany him to Odysseus' home in Ithaca as a gesture of hospitality and respect for his prophetic abilities. He hopes that Theoclymenus can provide valuable insights into their current situation, particularly regarding Odysseus' fate. Additionally, Telemachus seeks to strengthen his own position and credibility by associating with a figure who has spiritual authority, especially in the context of the challenges he faces with the suitors in his home.

In the Odyssey, Odysseus shows his superior physical strength by stringing his bow easily, which no other suitor could do, and Telemachus could barely have done.
Telemachus is shocked and initially doesn't believe his father is truly Odysseus, as he has been away for so long and looks different. Eventually, he is convinced by certain signs and recognizes him as his father. They embrace and weep together.
