How do Telemachus's actions in battle compare to his father's?

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."
