Carole King - Tapestry - cat's name?

[ACB312]

On last Thurday's BBC One Show, Carole King mentioned the name of the cat on the cover of her Tapestry album. I think she mentioned it was named after the father of Ulysses but I can't remember the name - can anybody tell me the name mentioned please? This just to make an obscure quiz question. Cheers, Andy

Telemicus

[Octavius]

or.... Telemachus.

Thank you both - Telemachus appears to be coreect. I can't find any reference to father of Ulysses but I may have misheard her. Cheers, Andy

Telemachus was the son of Ullyses but Laertes was his father and Anticlea was hes mother

[Octavius]

Telemachus was the son of Odysseus (Roman Latin: Ulysses).

[Octavius]

Odysseus was the Ithacan King referred to by Homer in the Odyssey and Iliad, although Odysseus was Aechean as �Greece� did not exist then. When the Romans adopted Greek mythology into their own Latin, Odysseus became Ulysses, Zeus became Jupiter, Athena became Minerva etc etc �.

In any event Carole�s cat is called Telemachus. Her little live on air faux pas about the familial link did not go unnoticed on the Beeb website as she did actually say Telemachus was the �father� of Odysseus/Ulysses, rather than the son.

Thank you all - especially octavius - I thought I had heard it correctly. Cheers, Andy
