What was Odysseus' role in the Trojan war?
He was one if Helen's old suitors, all of which has sworn an oath to back Helen's husband to defend her honour, so when Paris abducted Helen he was forced to fight in the war. Odysseus led the armies of Ithaca in a pact to retrieve the kidnapped wife of Menelaus (Helen) back from the Trojan prince Paris. Odysseus is the iconic bronze-age Greek hero. Although physically shorter in stature than some of the other prominent heroes of the Trojan War, he was broadly-built and extremely crafty. It is this characteristic of cunning which is Odysseus' hallmark. The ruse of the Trojan Horse was the product of Odysseus' skillful imagination.
