In the Odyssey, what does it mean to “come of age”? How does this compare with “coming of age” in modern times?

In the book, "come of age" is referred to as becoming mature. The Odyssey can be viewed as a coming- of- age story in which a young man, Telemachus, is raised without a father, matures and realizes his great potential. Telemachus starts off as a quiet young boy that is stepped all over by the suitors and then later grows to a brave and mature young man.

In Modern times most people view "coming of age" as the process of growing up or entering into adulthood. An example of coming of age is a girl who turns 14, then 15, 16, 17 and 18. It is also viewed just like the book sometimes.
