Telemachus was the son of Odysseus and Penelope, who was much favoured by the goddess Athene. She prompted him to stand up to Penelope's unruly suitors who had infested their home during Odysseus's 20 year absence, and also to voyage to Pylos and Lacedaemon to enquire after his father's fate. Following Odysseus's return, Telemachus helped his father in the slaughter of the obnoxious suitors, and in standing up to their outraged relatives afterwards. He also appears in the Telegony, a 2-book epic poem about the events following the death of Odysseus. Odysseus was accidentally killed by Telegonus, his son by the goddess Circe. Following his death, Telemachus and Telegonus moved to Aeaea with Penelope, and Telemachus ended up marrying Circe.
