Read the excerpt from The Odyssey about Odysseus and his son in battle. Telemachus swerved around him, leaving the long dark spear planted in Amphinomus. If he paused to yank it out someone might jump him from behind or cut him down with a sword at the moment he bent over. So he ran—ran from the tables to his father's side and halted, panting, saying: "Father let me bring you a shield and spear, a pair of spears, a helmet. I can arm on the run myself; I'll give outfits to Eumaeus and this cowherd. Better to have equipment." How do Telemachus’s actions in battle compare to his father’s? Telemachus is more impulsive than Odysseus in battle. Telemachus is more hesitant than Odysseus in battle. Both Telemachus and Odysseus are quick-thinking in battle. Both Telemachus and Odysseus are arrogant in battle.
