Odysseus tricked Achilles into joining the Trojan War by disguising himself and visiting Achilles' home while seeking warriors for the Greek army. He cleverly devised a ruse by placing weapons among the toys of Achilles' son, prompting Achilles to reveal himself when he instinctively reached for the sword, thus exposing his intention to fight. This clever manipulation showcased Odysseus' cunning and strategic mind, convincing Achilles to leave his isolated life and join the battle.

Odysseus pretended to be insane by planting salt in his fields. They caught him out because they placed his baby son, Telemachus, under the plow and Odysseus refused to run Telemachus over. Achilles actually dressed up as a girl. But when Odysseus, pretending to be a merchant, sold lots of things including a sword, only one "girl" picked up the sword. This was when the Achaeans knew that this girl was actually Achilles.
So that he will be remembered forever. and in it he was going to die
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.

He is going to free Odysseus from Calypso's island.
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!
