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.

From the movie ?
When the Trojan War broke out, Thetis was anxious and concealed Achilles, disguised as a girl, at the court of Lycomedes. When Odysseus found that one of the girls at court was not a girl, but Achilles, he dressed as a merchant and set up a table of vanity items and jewellery and called to the group. Only Achilles picked up the golden sword that lay to one side, and Odysseus quickly revealed him to be male. Seeing that she could no longer prevent her son from realizing his destiny, Thetis then had Hephaestus make a shield and armor.

The hero of the Odyssey is Odysseus, the Greek general who thought of using the Trojan Horse to capture Troy. The poem also follows the struggles of his son, Telemachus, as he tries to rid his kingdom of the suitors who have arrived to try to marry Odysseus' wife, Penelope.
Achilles was a legendary Greek hero and a central character in Homer's "Iliad," known for his unmatched prowess in battle during the Trojan War. To avoid going to war, he disguised himself as a woman and hid among the daughters of King Lycomedes on the island of Skyros. However, Odysseus discovered his true identity by presenting gifts that included weapons, prompting Achilles to reveal himself and ultimately join the conflict. His participation was driven by a desire for glory, despite his earlier attempts to evade his fate.
