Persepolis (Persepolidus) - a character of ancient Greek mythology, the son of Telemachus and the daughter of Nestor Polikasta [1] - this is the interpretation, in particular, of V.N. Yarkho [2] . According to the translation of this place by Eustathius by O. P. Tsybenko [3] , this is a daughter named Persepola, however, in the commented place of the Odyssey, we are talking about sons. According to the work of Pseudo-Herodotus, "The Contest of Homer and Hesiod," the daughter of Nestor gave birth to Telemachus the son of Homer [4] . Pylos was later one of the seven cities arguing over the right to be considered Homer’s homeland.
