Telemachus is not a hero

I do not think Telemachus is a hero because he doens't really do that much. The only thing he does is yells at the suitors and goes and trys to find Odysseus. Even though he has some hero traits how they describe him in the story. Also he doesn't follow many steps of the hero's journey. He is a good supporting person thoughout the story like he kind of Odysseuses right hand man although they are very far apart. Also he doens't really handle the suitors very well. The only thing he does is talk to them when he should be fighting them or making them leave. Although he keeps his cool and doesn't make many bad decsions all the suitors do is mock him and make fun of him. I also think that he always needs help on everyhing like when Athena tells him exactly what to do.
