Telemachus and his mother need Odysseus because he is their husband and father, respectively. Odysseus is seen as the rightful ruler of Ithaca and his return is essential for restoring order and legitimacy to their household and kingdom. Additionally, Odysseus' presence provides protection and guidance for Telemachus as he comes of age and learns to be a leader.
