Odysseus famed for his courage, intelligence, and leadership, (Roman\u00a0name: Ulysses) was one of the great\u00a0pan<\/a>-Hellenic\u00a0heroes of\u00a0Greek mythology. His resourcefulness and oratory skills were instrumental in the\u00a0Greek\u00a0victory in the\u00a0Trojan War<\/a>\u00a0and following the conflict, he was the protagonist in many fantastic adventures on his long voyage back home to Ithaka (or Ithaca).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In Greek\u00a0mythology<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

Odysseus was the son of Laertes and Antikleia (or Anticlea) and the King of Ithaca, leader of the Kephallenians. Married to Penelope, he also had a son, Telemachos (or Telemachus). The hero was also fortunate enough to regularly receive the special aid and protection of the goddess\u00a0Athena<\/a>.\u00a0Hesiod\u00a0describes Odysseus as \u201cpatient-minded\u201d, and\u00a0Homer<\/a>\u00a0most often describes him as \u201cgodlike\u201d, also as \u201cZeus<\/a>‘ equal in his mind’s resource\u201d and a truly great speaker, whose persuasive words \u201cflocked down like snowflakes in winter\u201d. However, the hero was not just a thinker but also a warrior, and his courage and fighting prowess are referenced in the Homeric epithet \u201csacker of\u00a0cities\u201d. Homer also states that the name Odysseus means \u201cvictim of enmity\u201d, no doubt in reference to the ill-feeling which\u00a0Poseidon\u00a0directed against the hero.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0THE TROJAN HORSE<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

With divine inspiration from Athena, Odysseus came up with the brilliant idea of the wooden horse. He had carpenters build a huge horse in which could hide a number of Greek soldiers. The trick was how to persuade the Trojans to take the horse inside the city walls. Odysseus first had all of the Greeks abandon their camp .\u00a0 And sail away out of view, anchoring off the island of Tenedos. This left only the horse standing alone on the plain with one man left behind, Sinon. He pretended to have been hunted by the Greeks as an enemy and potential sacrificial victim.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Gaining their confidence, he then proceeded to tell the gullible Trojans a cock and bull story about Athena . Being outraged at the theft of her statue,SHE WAS punishing the Greeks. Telling them the only way back into her good books was to build a gigantic wooden horse in her honour . The Trojans duly dragged the horse into the city to stand outside the temple\u00a0of Athena. With the exception of Laokoon and Aeneas, the Trojans then set about partying the night away in celebration of finally winning the war.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

When the party finally ended all the Trojans were sleeping in a drunken stupor. Then Sinon fired a signal to the waiting Greek ships and they promptly returned to the shores of Troy. Odysseus and his fellow warriors then descended from within the horse, opened the city gates, and the Greek army routed the Trojans, defiling temples and mercilessly slaughtering all and sundry.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
