Adolescence Depicted In The Od

... Despite Telemachos's age, he doesn't really begin this transitional period until Athena comes to him. In the beginning of the book, although Telemachos is eighteen, he is still a child. Telemachos's childhood was, for the most part, without a father. Because of this, he feels it is his duty to protect his mother. In my opinion, that is just a delusion of grandeur.
