Odysseus - black marble texture - China white marble texture by hi joiney
Parentage Relatively little is known of Odysseus s background other than that his paternal grandfather or step grandfather is Arcesius son of Cephalus and grandson of Aeolus whilst his maternal grandfather is the thief Autolycus son of Hermes and Chione According to The Odyssey his father is Laertes and his mother Anticleia although there was a non Homeric tradition that Sisyphus was his true father Odysseus is said to have a younger sister Ktimene who went to Same to be married and is mentioned by the swineherd Eumaios who she grew up alongside in Book XV of the Odyssey Ithaca an island along the Ionian northwestern coastline of Greece is one of several islands that would have comprised the realm of Odysseus s family but the true extent of the Cephallenian realm and the actual identities of the islands named in Homer s works are unknown Topics in Greek mythology Gods Primordial gods and Titans Zeus and the Olympians Pan and the nymphs Apollo and Dionysus Sea gods and Earth gods Heroes Heracles and his Labors Achilles and the Trojan War Odysseus and the Odyssey Jason and the Argonauts Perseus and Medusa Gorgon Oedipus and Thebes Theseus and the Minotaur Triptolemus and the Eleusinian Mysteries Related Satyrs centaurs and dragons Religion in Ancient Greece Variants and meanings of name The name has several variants Olysseus Oulixeus Oulixes and he was known as Ulysses in Latin or Ulixes in Roman mythology The verb odussomai o meaning hate suggests that the name could be rendered as the one who is wrathful hated This interpretation is reinforced by Odysseus s and Poseidon s mutual wrath In Odyssey 19 in which Odysseus s early childhood is recounted Euryclea asks Autolycus to name him Euryclea tries to guide him to naming the boy Polyaretos for he has much been prayed for 19 403f In Greek however Polyaretos can also take the opposite meaning much accursed Autolycus seems to infer this connotation of the name and accordingly names his grandson Odysseus Odysseus often receives the patronymic epithet Laertiades Greek son of Lartes His name and stories were adopted into Etruscan religion under the name Uthuze Cruel Odysseus Homer s Iliad and Odyssey portrayed Odysseus as a culture hero but the Romans who believed themselves the scions of Prince Aeneas of Troy considered him a villainous falsifier In Virgil s Aeneid he is constantly referred to as cruel Odysseus Latin dirus Ulixes or deceitful Odysseus pellacis fandi fictor Turnus in Aeneid ix reproaches the Trojan Ascanius with images of rugged forthright Latin virtues declaring in John Dryden s translation You shall not find the sons of Atreus here nor need the frauds of sly Ulysses fear While the Greeks admired his cunning and deceit these qualities did not recommend themselves to the Romans who possessed a rigid sense of honour In Euripides s tragedy Iphigenia at Aulis having convinced Agamemnon to consent to the sacrifice of his daughter Iphigenia to appease the goddess Artemis Odysseus facilitates the immolation by telling her mother Clytemnestra that the girl is to be wed to Achilles His attempts to avoid his sacred oath to defend Menelaus and Helen offended Roman notions of duty the many stratagems and tricks that he employed to get his way offended Roman notions of honour Before the Trojan War The majority of sources for Odysseus antebellum exploitsrincipally the mythographers Apollodorus and Hyginusostdate Homer by many centuries Two stories in particular are well known When Helen was abducted Menelaus called upon the other suitors to honour their oaths and help him to retrieve her an attempt that would lead to the Trojan War Odysseus tried to avoid it by feigning lunacy as an oracle had prophesied a long delayed return home for him if he went He hooked a donkey and an ox to his plough as they have different stride lengths hindering the efficiency of the plough and some modern sources add started sowing his fields with salt Palamedes at the behest of Menelaus s brother Agamemnon sought to disprove Odysseus s madness and placed Telemachus Odysseus s infant son in front of the plough Odysseus veered the plough away from his son thus destroying his ruse Odysseus held a grudge against Palamedes during the war for dragging him away from his home Odysseus and other envoys of Agamemnon then traveled to Scyros to recruit Achilles because of a prophecy that Troy could not be taken without him By most accounts Thetis Achilles s mother disguised the youth as a woman to hide him from the recruiters because an oracle had predicted that Achilles would either live a long uneventful life or achieve everlasting glory while dying young Odysseus cleverly discovered which of the women before him was Achilles when the youth stepped forward to examine an array of weapons Odysseus arranged for the sounding of a battle horn which prompted Achilles to clutch a weapon with his disguise foiled he joined Agamemnon s army During the Trojan War The Iliad Main article Iliad Odysseus was one of the most influential Greek champions during the Trojan War Along with Nestor and Idomeneus he was one of the most trusted counsellors and advisers He always championed the Achaean cause especially when the king was in question as in one instance when Thersites spoke against him When Agamemnon to test the morale of the Achaeans announced his intentions to depart Troy Odysseus restored order to the Greek camp Later on after many of the heroes had left the battlefield due to injuries including Odysseus and Agamemnon Odysseus once again persuaded Agamemnon not to withdraw Along with two other envoys he was chosen in the failed embassy to try to persuade Achilles to return to combat When Hector proposed a single combat duel Odysseus was one of the Danaans who reluctantly volunteered to battle him Telamonian Ajax however was the volunteer who eventually did fight Hector Odysseus aided Diomedes during the successful night operations in order to kill Rhesus because it had been foretold that if his horses drank from the Scamander river Troy could not be taken After Patroclus had been slain it was Odysseus who counselled Achilles to let the Achaean men eat and rest rather than follow his rage driven desire to go back on the offensivend kill Trojansmmediately Eventually and reluctantly he consented During the funeral games for Patroclus Odysseus became involved in a wrestling match with Telamonian Ajax as well as a foot race With the help of the goddess Athena who favoured him and despite Apollo s helping another of the competitors he won the race and managed to draw the wrestling match to the surprise of all Odysseus has traditionally been viewed in the Iliad as Achilles s antithesis while Achilles s anger is all consuming and of a self destructive nature Odysseus is frequently viewed as a man of the mean world renowned for his self restraint and diplomatic skills Professor Adele Haft in her essay Odysseus Wrath and Grief in the Iliad observes that there might be more to Odysseus s nature than initially appears on the surface Haft makes several observations that raise questions about the traditional approach to his character Haft notes that Odysseus is the only other character besides Achilles to receive a verbal reprimand from Agamemnon There are repeated suggestions that Agamemnon and Odysseus s relationship is strained it is not Agamemnon but Nestor who selects Odysseus for his every mission in the Iliad Haft explains Odysseus s displays of wrath as well as his strained relationship with Agamemnon as indicators that Odysseus will ultimately be responsible for the sacking of Troy Haft points to the death of Democoon in Book 4 as a prime example of the consequences of Odysseus s anger for it results in a massive reduction of Trojan morale as well as a retreat Haft goes on to suggest that Democoon s death in conjunction with the death of Simoeisius previses the destruction of Troy Other stories from the Trojan War When the Achaean ships reached the beach of Troy no one would jump ashore since there was an oracle that the first Achaean to jump on Trojan soil would die Odysseus tossed his shield on the shore and jumped on his shield citation needed He was followed by Protesilaus who jumped on Trojan soil and later became the first to die Odysseus never forgave Palamedes for unmasking his madness ruse leading him to frame him as a traitor At one point Odysseus convinced a Trojan captive to write a letter pretending to be from Palamedes A sum of gold was mentioned to have been sent as a reward for Palamedes s treachery Odysseus then killed the prisoner and hid the gold in Palamedes s tent He ensured that the letter was found and acquired by Agamemnon and also gave hints directing the Argives to the gold This was evidence enough for the Greeks and they had Palamedes stoned to death Other sources say that Odysseus and Diomedes goaded Palamedes into descending a wall with the prospect of treasure being at the bottom When Palamedes reached the bottom the two proceeded to bury him with stones killing him When Achilles was slain in battle it was Odysseus and Telamonian Ajax who successfully retrieved the fallen warrior s body and armour in the thick of heavy fighting During the funeral games for Achilles Odysseus competed once again with Telamonian Ajax Thetis said that the arms of Achilles would go to the bravest of the Greeks but only these two warriors dared lay claim to that title The two Argives became embroiled in a heavy dispute about one another s merits to receive the reward The Greeks dithered out of fear in deciding a winner because they did not want to insult one and have him abandon the war effort Nestor suggested that they allow the captive Trojans decide the winner Some accounts disagree suggesting that the Greeks themselves held a secret vote In any case Odysseus was the winner Enraged and humiliated Ajax was driven mad by Athena When he returned to his senses in shame at how he had slaughtered livestock in his madness Ajax killed himself by the sword that Hector had given him Together with Diomedes Odysseus went to fetch Achilles son Pyrrhus to come to the aid of the Achaeans because an oracle had stated that Troy could not be taken without him A great warrior Pyrrhus was also called Neoptolemus Greek new warrior Upon the success of the mission Odysseus gave Achilles armor to him It was later learned that the war could not be won without the poisonous arrows of Heracles which were owned by the abandoned Philoctetes Odysseus and Diomedes or according to some accounts Odysseus and Neoptolemus went out to retrieve them Upon their arrival Philoctetes still suffering from the wound was seen still to be enraged at the Danaans especially Odysseus for abandoning him Although his first instinct was to shoot Odysseus his anger was eventually diffused by Odysseus s persuasive powers and the influence of the gods Odysseus returned to the Argive camp with Philoctetes and his arrows Odysseus and Diomedes would later steal the Palladium that lay within Troy s walls for the Greeks were told they could not sack the city without it Some sources indicate that Odysseus schemed to kill his partner on the way back but Diomedes thwarted this attempt Perhaps Odysseus most famous contribution to the Greek war effort was devising the strategem of the Trojan Horse which allowed the Greek army to sneak into Troy under cover of darkness It was built by Epeius and filled with Greek warriors led by Odysseus After Troy was sacked Odysseus threw Hector s son Astyanax from the city walls to his death lest the child reach manhood and avenge his father Journey home to Ithaca Odysseus is probably best known as the eponymous hero of the Odyssey This epic describes his travails as he tries to return home after the Trojan War and reassert his place as rightful king of Ithaca Main article Odyssey Other stories Odysseus is one of the most recurrent characters in Western culture Classical According to some late sources most of them purely genealogical Odysseus had many other children besides Telemachus the most famous being with Penelope Poliporthes born after Odysseus s return from Troy with Circe Telegonus Ardeas Latinus with Calypso Nausinous with Kallidike Polypoetes Most such genealogies aimed to link Odysseus with the foundation of many Italic cities in remote antiquity He figures in the end of the story of King Telephus of Mysia The supposed last poem in the Epic Cycle is called the Telegony and is thought to tell the story of Odysseus s last voyage and of his death at the hands of Telegonus his son with Circe The poem like the others of the cycle is lost in that no authentic version has been discovered In 5th century BC Athens tales of the Trojan War were popular subjects for tragedies and Odysseus figures centrally or indirectly in a number of the extant plays
