Telemachus

  My father had been left home for 3 years now and because of that there are many suitors around my house and they even take over our house just because my mother, Penelope, doesn’t want to marry any of them. And the only reason that they want to get marry with my mother is that they want to replace my father’s throne and be the king of the Ithaca. Even thou mother doesn’t want to marry any one of the suitors and express the opinion about the marriage to one of them; none of the suitors give up. This had become a really big problem for me and I just don’t really know how to solve this problem and protect my mother from the suitors. And I felt that I have responsibility to take care of my mother and also take care of the kingdom since my father have been away for so long time. One day, Athena, the goddess of the warfare and wisdom, appear to my house and told me that I can find the information about my father by sailing to the Pylos and Sparta and she also help me to solve the biggest problem that I had - the suitors, she advise me to gather an assembly of the island's leaders to protest the invasion of the suitors. Later on, I go visit King Nestor of Pylos  and King Menelaus of Sparta, old comrades of my father's, to gather from them any new of Odysseus. At the assembly, there's two leading suitors - the aggressive Antinous and the smooth-talking Eurymachus - confront the prince. They accuse my mother of delaying too long in my mother's choice of a new husband. Telemachus speaks well but accomplishes little at the assembly because the suitors are from some of the strongest families in the area and are impatient with my mother's delays. As I secretly sets off for Pylos and Sparta, the suitors plot to assassinate me. I learns little of my father but is encouraged to visit Sparta where King Menelaus reports that my father is alive but held captive by the goddess nymph Calypso.
