The Odyssey
What do you think Telemachus means when he says, "Nobody really knows his own father"?
Bk i, ln 66: pg 29.
Bk i, ln 66: pg 29.
Telemachus, at this point in the poem, is struggling to find his own identity. I think the subtext of this statement is a motif in the poem: you know your father by coming into your own identity.
