Odysseus was reluctant to fight in the Trojan War because he was content with his life in Ithaca and wanted to avoid the dangers and uncertainties of war. He had a deep love for his family, particularly his wife Penelope and son Telemachus, and feared that going to Troy would mean risking everything he held dear. Additionally, he was aware of the prophecy that foretold the long and arduous journey home, which further dissuaded him from participating in the conflict. His desire to avoid war was so strong that he even feigned madness to escape conscription.
