Odysseus Odysseus was King of Ithica. He never really wanted to join the Trojan War. As one of Helen's suitors, Odysseus was bound to the oath to defend her and Menelaus. Early in the courtship process, Odysseus had turned his attention to Helen's cousin Penelope. He married Penelope, who had his first son Telemachus. When Menelaus came for him, Odysseus pretended to be insane. He was in the fields sowing crops pretending to be oblivious to life around him. Palamedes saw though Odysseus's deceit and placed his son, Telemachus, in the path of the plow. When Odysseus steered away from the baby, his fake insanity was exposed. Odysseus never really forgave Palamedes for unmasking his deception. During the war, Odysseus framed Palamedes as a spy, and the Greeks had him stoned to death.
hes really cute lmaoo
How did Odysseus address the queen of the Phaeacians okay so its really "he cast his hands about her knees."
Odysseus waits for the cyclops to return in hope that the cyclops will be a good host and give him a present. It is really Odysseus' curiousity that compels him to stay.
he doesnt really treat them bad because no one told Odysseus to go on and see the cyclops.
Telemachus initially thinks Odysseus is a stranger when they first reunite, as Odysseus, disguised as a beggar, had not revealed his true identity to his son. Telemachus only discovers the true identity of the beggar later on.
In "The Odyssey," Odysseus proves he is sane by demonstrating his intelligence, cunning, and strategic thinking in various challenges and situations. He also shows emotional depth and connection to his family, further solidifying his mental stability. Additionally, his actions and decisions align with his goals of returning home and reuniting with his wife and son, showcasing a coherent and rational mindset.
Telemachus is asking Nestor to be straightforward and not offer false comfort or sympathy. He wants Nestor to be direct and honest about any information he may have regarding the whereabouts or fate of his father, Odysseus.

Yes, he's married to Penelope. Odysseus and Penelope have a son, Telemachus. Odysseus tells Penelope, "You must promise me, if I don't come back by the time Telemachus has a beard, you must marry." Penelope promises. Odysseus, still alive after 20 years, comes back to Ithaca to find suitors (men who are trying to marry Penelope) all over his home. Penelope knew he was still alive after 20 years, but people kept telling her he was dead. Suitors are very mean. Athena discuises Odysseus as an old beggar, and he, and telemachus go to their house. Penelope doesn't know it's odyssus. she tells Odysseus (the "beggar") that he still loves Odysseus and promised that she'd marry when telemachus had a beard. he had a beard now. so she held a contest to pick a husband. the contest was to string Odysseus's box & shoot an arrow through 12 ax handles. all the suitors failed to string the bow. Odysseus, the beggar, strung the box, and shot it through the 12 ax handles. he, and telemachus, killed the suitors. Athena turned Odysseus back into his old self after he killed the suitors. Penelope didn't know if it was really Odysseus, so she told the maids to remove their bed from their tree & into another room. Odysseus got mad, since right after he left for troy, he built their house & bed around a tree. Their bed was basically their symbol. Penelope then realized it was really Odysseus. Penelope & Odysseus were then reunited with each other again. Hope I helped! (:

When Odysseus had injured Polyphemus by pinning his eye with a wooden stick, he revealed his identity to him, in which Polyphemus later tattled the incident to his father, Poseidon. Poseidon made his journey home really hard, hence the events of the Odyssey.
Talk about who Odysseus is and what his situation in the book is. It really depends on what about Odysseus you are going to talk about.
Odysseus had bred and trained Argos himself, so Argos knew his master really well.
