Odysseus was a great Greek Leader from the Trojan War. He was a character in the Iliad, and the hero of Homer's epic poem ''Odyssey''.
King Odysseus was king of the Island of Ithaca, of the east coast of Greece. He was an exceptional Hero for the Greeks, always thought of as the most cunning of heroes, using his mind over matter. Famously he fought at the Siege of Troy, though he was eventually injured and had to withdraw to his ship (as described in Homer's Iliad). Later, he came up with the plan for the 'Trojan Horse', and led the Greek warriors into the city, hidden inside the giant wooden horse. This feat eventually won the Greeks the war. On his way home across the Aegean, he was blown off course, going through tremendous physical and emotional hardship, including going deep into the underworld and meeting the soul of his recently deceased mother, Anticleia. He eventually returns home and slaughters all of the suitors come to marry his wife (it took 10 years for Odysseus to return home after the siege had ended).
