Is Telemachus a Hero?

     I believe that Telemachus is a hero because he will for his entire life fight for what he believes in, he trys to find the king of ithaca so that Ithaca can go back to being a great country, he may be young but he will fight for the rights of his people and for the rights of his kingdom. An example is even when he is told that his father is dead he still does not believe and travels all over to try and find his father. He fights for his rights of his people by not letting his mother mary a suior and making sure the suitors dont try anything stupid like trying to take over Ithaca. Telemachus is a hero by searching for his father because his father is in the scariest worst places to be and telemachus still believes he is alive and still wantsd to help him. My conclusion to this is that Telemachus may e seen by many as a coward and a child but in my mind telemachus is a true genuine hero.
