From the Paper:

"Telemachus, the son of the main character, Odysseus, in the poem, The Odyssey, had to endure a childhood that was unlike many of ours. He grew up without a father, or even a male role model around. Telemachus endured many feminine traits, and very few, if any, traits that his father may have held. Telemachus was clueless about things like how to defend his family, or how to handle those who may have been a threat. Nobody ever introduced Telemachus to these characteristics that a man is assumed to be knowledgeable on. This is what caused for the destruction of Odysseus wealth while Odysseus was missing for twenty years. He was seen as a vulnerable to the influence of others and had no assurance in himself."
