odysseus was one of the greatest heroes in greek mythology. he plays one of the central roles in homer's iliad where the greeks were, to his ingenuity, able to defeat the trojans and claim the city of troy. in the other of homer's epic, odysseus is the protagonist. as you guessed right, this epic is called the odyssey and it tells about the hero's ten year journey back to his kingdom ithaca, where his wife penelope hadn't seen her husband for ten years because of the war and was about to live in agony for another ten years. odysseus was a son of laertes, a king of ithaca, and anticlea. he was thought to be the most clever greek hero, finding neat solutions to every problem. he was also a great warrior and very charismatic leader who often inspired his men. and on the other hand, he was a very faithful and loyal husband and father as he declined immortality twice on his journey just to get home to his wife and son. no wonder that he was admired and protected by athena, the goddess of wisdom.
