Telemachus' father Odysseus has been delayed from returning from Troy. The stuitors are treating to take power of the place of Odysseeus and marry Penplope. Telemachus goes on a journey and only comes to hfind out that he is coming of age and he needs to take on the responsibilities as a adult would and he need sto go one a dangerous journey. In a different way he honors his father by his faith, and perserving the household.

Orestes is in a different situation, His father Agamemnon was killed by his mom, in revenge for Agamemnon killing, Iphegenia. But by preserving the cycle of killing, Orestes kills his mom by honoring his father.
