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.
