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.

Why did Odysseus choose to go to war?
He didn't want to, but king Menelaos could persuade him. He was for only a short time home again with Penelope and his son, Telemachos, when king Menelaos came to Ithaka. Odysseus didn't want to go to war because his son was just born and acted as if he went insane. He took a plough to the beach and started sowing salt. Menelaos saw through his trick and lay Telemachos right before the plough. Odysseus saved his son and knew he had to 'surrender' now. Then king Menelaos managed to persuade Odysseus to go to war with him.
