yes!! HE makes up the idea for the Trojan horse.(The reason why the Greeks couldn't win was because they couldn't get past the high walls of Troy.) He hides all of the Greek soldiers into this massive wooden horse that the Trojans mistake as a gift. They take it into the walls of troy. That night the soldiers come out of the horse and take down try, winning the war that was fought for ten years.
Yes, Odysseus is known for his cunning intellect and strategic thinking in the epic poems of The Iliad and The Odyssey. He is depicted as a clever and resourceful leader, using his wit and intelligence to outsmart his enemies and navigate difficult situations.
Odysseus doesn't kill the cyclops Polyphemus because he needs him to move the giant boulder blocking the cave's entrance. If he had killed him, he wouldn't have been able to move the boulder on his own and escape from the cave with his men. Additionally, revealing his name as "Nobody" helped Odysseus deceive Polyphemus, making it easier for him to escape.

The punishment imposed by Poseidon on Odysseus is a consequence of Odysseus having blinded Poseidon's son, Polyphemus, during his journey back from the Trojan War. It can be considered fair from a mythological perspective, as actions in Greek myths often have consequences that extend beyond immediate events. However, the extent of Odysseus' suffering and challenges on his journey home could be seen as excessive in modern ethical terms.
The suitor who attempts to reason with Odysseus but fails is Antinous. He urges Odysseus to listen to their side of the story before seeking revenge but Odysseus remains resolute in his plan to punish the suitors for their transgressions.
Polyphemus responds to Odysseus with anger and violence after Odysseus blinds him. He curses Odysseus and his men, calling for vengeance from his father Poseidon. Polyphemus then blocks the exit of the cave, trapping Odysseus and his crew inside.
