Persepolis (mythology)

Persepolis ( Greek  Περσέπολις ) or Perseptolis (Greek Περσέπτολις ) is a person of Greek mythology .

He is the son of Telemachus and the Polycaste , daughter of Nestor , but is also called the son of Telemachus and Nausicaa .

The news that Persepolis' mother is Nausicaa may have been confused with Ptoliporthos . This son of Telemachus and Nausicaa was named after the epithet of Odysseus .
