What did thetis do to try to hide Achilles?

When the Trojan War broke out, Thetis was anxious and concealed Achilles, disguised as a girl, at the court of Lycomedes. When Odysseus found that one of the girls at court was not a girl, but Achilles, he dressed as a merchant and set up a table of vanity items and jewellery and called to the group. Only Achilles picked up the golden sword that lay to one side, and Odysseus quickly revealed him to be male. Seeing that she could no longer prevent her son from realizing his destiny, Thetis then had Hephaestus make a shield and armor.

How and why did Odysseus try to avoid the Trojan War?

Odysseus tried to avoid the Trojan War because he had a peaceful kingdom and a wife and son. He didn't want to leave them. He also had received a prophecy when he was quite young that stated that if Odysseus was to partake in the war, he would not return for twenty years. To avoid being forced to honor his previous promise to Menelaus, he dressed in his finest, took a plow, a bull, and a donkey, and went to his fields and spread salt on the fertile ground (salt prevents any further growth), pretending to think it was seed. In summary, he pretended to be insane. His plan failed because Menelaus (suspecting Odysseus's plan) threw Odysseus's son in the path of the plow. Odysseus forgot his plan and saved his son, but had to go to war.
