Persepolis (mythology)

Son of Telemachus in Greek mythology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Persepolis (Ancient Greek: Περσέπολις) or Perseptolis (Περσέπτολις) was the son of Telemachus.[1]

The 12th-century AD Byzantine scholar Eustathius of Thessalonica, in his commentary on the Odyssey, writes that the 8th- or 7th-century BC poet Hesiod considered the mother of Persepolis to be Polycaste, the daughter of Nestor.[2] In the same place in his commentary, Eustathius also states that Nausicaa, the daughter of Alcinous, was said to be his mother by the 5th-century BC logographer Hellanicus of Lesbos and the 4th-century BC philosopher Aristotle.[3]
