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."

Answer: Both Telemachus and Odysseus are quick-thinking in battle.

Telemachus was just a child when his father left for Troy, and therefore, has had little influence from him throughout his growing years. However, The Odyssey shows that Telemachus has become a strong, fine prince regardless. Although he does not match Odysseus in wit and skill, he nevertheless is brave like him, and he is fully committed to protecting his parents and his state. This passage also shows that Telemachus is quick-thinking and talented in battle, just like his father.
