TELEMACHUS

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 541 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TELEMACHUS , in
Greek
  legend (Odyssey i.iv., xv.xxiv.; Hyginus, Fab. 127), son of Odysseus and
Penelope
 . When he reached manhood, he visited Pylos and
Sparta
  to make inquiries about his father, who had been absent for nearly twenty years. On his return, he found that Odysseus had reached
home
  before him. Then father and son, aided by Eumaeus and Philoetius, slew or drove out the suitors of
Penelope
  (see ODYSSEUS). According to later tradition, Telemachus became the
husband
  of
Circe
  and by her the father of Latinus and of a daughter Roma, afterwards the wife of Aeneas. In another story, he married a daughter of
Circe
 , named Cassiphone; having slain his
mother
 -in-law in a quarrel, he was himself killed by his wife. This is the only notice of the death of Telemachus. The
foundation
  of
Clusium
  in Etruria was attributed to him.
