Odysseus knew that he was going to be one of the men that was called to battle during the Trojan War. To avoid this, he tried to feign madness. He hitched a horse and a donkey to his plow so that it would plow crooked, uneven lines. He laid salt in his fields to render his soil unusable. He was assumed to be mad. He was later found out when one who was wise to his tricks laid down his infant son in the line of the plow, Odysseus moved out of the way; he was deemed sane and was recruited to fight!
