Telemachus appears in Alfred, Lord Tennyson's 1833 poem "Ulysses," where the title speaker (based on Dante's version) expresses disappointment in his son. Telemachus is a frequent character in the poetry of Louise Glück. [16] Telemachus was the name of Carole King's cat and is pictured on the cover of her album Tapestry. [17]
With the weapon Circe gave him, Telegonus killed his father unknowingly. Telegonus then brought back his father's corpse to Aeaea, together with Penelope and Odysseus' son by her, Telemachus.
