What does Telemachus say to Odysseus?

Telemachus, upon meeting Odysseus, expresses disbelief and amazement at seeing his father after so many years. He initially struggles to accept Odysseus's identity, fearing he might be a god or an illusion. Once convinced, he shares his longing for his father and the struggles he has faced during Odysseus's absence, ultimately expressing joy and a desire to work together to reclaim their home from the suitors. Their reunion is marked by a mix of emotions, highlighting the bond between father and son.


Why don't the townsfolk help Telemachus put a stop to the suitors behavior in The Odyssey?

Mainly because the townspeople couldn't really do anything. For one they could not do or say anything because Penelope was offering the suitors her hospitality and doing anything to the suitors would have made Penelope look bad. Also most of the townspeople couldn't interfere even if they wanted to because it was a royal matter and not a commoner's. Plus if they did the odyssey would have been quite boring.
