How does homer portray the idea of continuity between generations in the Odyssey?

Homer portrayes the idea of continuity between generations showing the relationship between father-son to be an endless cycle.

Explanation:

All the sons were like their fathers, and it is evident that they will have the same relations their fathers had with each other. Like father like son.

For example, Telemachus, like his father was bright and talented. He fights for the same goals and aims his father fought for. He wants to protect the family estate, but is under constant attack from the suitors. Many claim that he was not as intelligent as his father, but others claim that he was young, would eventually mature into a bright man like his him.

Telemachus will, undoubtedly become like his father. This text is as good as it is idealistic.
