In the Odyssey, in the absense of Odysseus, Telemachus, his son, plays a humble and emotionally ruined servant to the overbearing brutish suiters for his mother Penelope. He has no voice, and doesn't not even consider how to get them to leave. Does anyone want to discuss the idea of gener and how it was Athena, a woman, who was solely resonsible for Telemachu become a "real man", by getting his voive and challenging the soldiers to leave, and eventually killing them off with his father.

Let's begin the discussion.
