Odysseus

Odysseus, also known by the Latinvariant Ulysses, is a legendary Greek king of Ithaca and the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey. Odysseus also plays a key role in Homer's Iliad and other works in that same epic cycle. He is renowned for his intellectual brilliance, guile, and versatility (polytropos), and is thus known by the epithet Odysseus the Cunning. He is most famous for his nostos or homecoming, which took him ten eventful years after the decade-long Trojan War.
