Best Answer

Odysseus was born a Prince of the city state of Ithaca. His father was Laertis and his mother Anticlea. He was famous because he participated in the war of Troy between Greeks and Trojans which lasted 10 years. It took him 10 years to return home and meet his family, his beloved wife Penelope and his son Telemachus. He had to kill all 40 princes that occupied his palace dwelling about the marriage of Penelope with one of them. Both events have been presented in two epic poems Iliad and Odyssey by Όμηρος.
