The ANTARES neutrino telescope is being constructed at a site off the French Mediterranean coast at a depth of 2400m. When high energy neutrinos interact in water, the charged secondary particles produce Cherenkov light which can be measured in photomultiplier tubes. Different event signatures are possible; this work introduces a reconstruction algorithm for events with a hadronic and potentially an electromagnetic shower producing a signal in the detector. An algorithm for the combined reconstruction of shower direction and energy is described, based on a maximum likelihood fit which matches the signal expected in the photomultipliers for an assumed direction and energy with the signal actually measured.
