Answer:
False.
Step-by-step explanation:
The epic story of Homer's "The Odyssey" details the journey of Odysseus ever since he left his home, his wife Penelope and infant son Telemachus. Now, after more than a decade of him gone, Telemachus had become an adult and had decided on going on a journey to get his father back.
This plan of going after his father is detailed in Book II of the text, where he tells the ever faithful Eurycleia about the plan. He then asked her to help him prepare for the journey. He also told her not to tell anyone else, not even his mother Penelope, for it will only give her anguish and worry. If she knows about it, it will only provide her anguish over having to stay alone without either son or husband with her. Thus, it is false that Telemachus tells his mother of his plans to leave Ithaca in search of his father.
