He describes odysseus as master of land and seaways, raider of cities, son of laertes and the gods of old, and blue girdler of the islands
Homer
Odysseus was the principal character in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.
Homer wanted to give Odysseus human characteristics to make the story believable. Odysseus exhibits many weaknesses during his journey home to Ithaca. Homer was easily able to integrate these weaknesses because all humans can relate to his problems and can learn from what Odysseus had to go through.
Odysseus is not the one who is telling the story. This is all Greek mythology from Homer. No one truly knows if Homer really existed, but this epic was passed down from ancient Greece.
