In Greek mythology, Telegonus (/təˈlɛɡənəs/; Ancient Greek: Τηλέγονος means "born afar") was the youngest son of Circe and Odysseus[1] and thus, brother to Agrius and Latinus[2] or Nausithous and Nausinous,[3] and Cassiphone.[4] In some accounts, he was called the son of the nymph Calypso and Odysseus instead.[5]
