Pasipheros Parides

Τηλέμαχος, son of Odysseus & Penelope, prince of Ithaca.

Pasipheros, son of Paris & his little king's strongest leash.

Credits for Tele's alt name/epithet goes to @dkmbookworm & their brilliant friend @akaittou, whom some may know as the author of Hanging on in Quiet Desperation. Pasipheros means 'one who brings peace/rest', which is fitting for Telemachus whose very presence pacifies Odysseus.

It also has heavier intonations because Telemachus is in a prime position to be molded into a puppet king Troy could use to expand their territory further, bringing their own form of 'peace' by force if necessary, starting with Ithaca, Telemachus' birthright.

Odysseus will give Telemachus Ithaca's throne. However, he's going to make sure his son inherits it as a free prince, not a pawn.
