Telemachus - Mythology. Greek Son of Odysseus and Penelope. As an infant, Telemachus was placed in the path of his father's plow as a test of the father's pretended madness. When the Trojan War ended, Telemachus searched unsuccessfully for his father, returned to Ithaca, and recognized Odysseus; together he and Odysseus slew all the would-be usurpers to the throne who had been imposing upon Penelope to choose a husband from among them. (See Odysseus Returns to Ithaca, under Odyssey.)
