Telemachus married Telegonus' mother, the enchantress Circe, while Telegonus took to wife Odysseus' widow Penelope. [6] By Penelope, he was the father of Italus who, according to some accounts, gave his name to Italy. [7] What appears to be later tradition holds that Odysseus would also be resurrected by Circe after he was killed by Telegonus. [8]
The Telegony (Ancient Greek: Τηλεγόνεια or Τηλεγονία, romanized: Tēlegóneia, Tēlegonía) [1] is a lost epic poem of Ancient Greek literature.It is named after Telegonus, the son of Odysseus by Circe, whose name ("born far away") is indicative of his birth on Aeaea, far from Odysseus' home of Ithaca.
The Telegony was a short two-book epic poem recounting the life and death of Odysseus after the events of the Odyssey. In this mythological postscript, Odysseus is accidentally killed by Telegonus, his unknown son by the goddess Circe. After Odysseus's death, Telemachus returns to Aeaea with Telegonus and Penelope, and there marries Circe.
Here, Athena ordered the marriage of Telemachus to Telegonus' mother, the enchantress Circe, while Telegonus married the new widowed Penelope. After burying Odysseus, Circe made the other three immortal. [18] According to Hyginus, Penelope and Telegonus had a son called Italus who, according to some accounts, gave his name to Italy. [19]
Contradicting the reading of Tiresias's prophecy in The Odyssey that Odysseus will have a gentle death in old age after making it home, [46] [51] the Telogony claims that he met his death at the hands of Telegonus, his son with Circe, after a misunderstanding. Telegonus attacked his father with a poisoned spear, given to him by Circe.
