Repost of an older piece

[theodysseyofhomer]

the whole chip on telemachus' shoulder in the odyssey isn't that he's a helpless little kid. it's that he is a man, he should be treated like a man, but he can't take up the role he's entitled to. and because of it he resents not only the suitors, but also both of his parents. in odysseus' case the outward resentment seems to resolve itself along with the doubt of his existence, when athena reveals him; in penelope's it never really does. by the time of their last scene together telemachus still finds her hard to understand and disrespects her. he isn't closer to her because his father was absent. the war and deferred homecoming separated the two of them as much as it did odysseus and his homeland

Help me out, odyblrmind. In book 4, when Helen drugs the wine:

[219] Then Helen, daughter of Zeus, took other counsel. Straightway she cast into the wine of which they were drinking a drug to quiet all pain and strife, and bring forgetfulness of every ill. Whoso should drink this down, when it is mingled in the bowl, would not in the course of that day let a tear fall down over his cheeks, no, not though his mother and father should lie there dead, or though before his face men should slay with the sword his brother or dear son, and his own eyes beheld it.

Do Menelaios, Peisistratos and Telemakhos know that she's done it? Is it a secret act (of kindness)? Or an open acknowledgement of their shared pain?

telemachus HAD a competent father figure, unfortunately it's eumaeus
