Before leaving home for the Trojan War, Odysseus lived in Ithaca as its king, known for his wisdom, cunning, and strong leadership. He had a loving wife, Penelope, and a son, Telemachus, with whom he shared a deep bond. His life was marked by a sense of duty to his family and kingdom, as well as a reputation for hospitality and strategic prowess. However, his adventures began when he was called to join the Greek forces against Troy, setting the stage for his long and arduous journey home.
