yes!! HE makes up the idea for the Trojan horse.(The reason why the Greeks couldn't win was because they couldn't get past the high walls of Troy.) He hides all of the Greek soldiers into this massive wooden horse that the Trojans mistake as a gift. They take it into the walls of troy.

Why doesn't Odysseus kill the cyclops?

Odysseus is a smart, smart man. If he had killed the cyclops then he and his men would have been trapped in the cyclops' cave forever. Remeber, he pushed a huge boulder in front of the door when he came in. If he had tried to kill him after he and his men escaped by hiding under the sheep then the cyclops would have cried out to his companions and all the rest of the Cyclopses would have come out and killed Odysseus, sunk his boat and killed his men. He is too smart to resort to violence right away... not like his companions in Troy.

What is the possessive of Odysseus Odysseus' or Odysseus's?

The possessive form of "Odysseus" can be written as either "Odysseus'" or "Odysseus's," depending on the style guide being followed. The first form, "Odysseus'," is the preferred form in some style guides, especially when the word ends in an "s" sound. The second form, "Odysseus's," is also widely accepted and used, particularly in American English. Both forms are grammatically correct, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference or adherence to a specific style guide.
