| Odysséas | Οδυσσέας |
Odysseus, the king of Ithaca and son of Laertes was considered the most clever Greek hero and not surprisingly, he was protected by Athena, goddess of wisdom. He often found solutions for important problems: he was amongst Helen's suitors, but to avoid war between them he made them all swear to respect Helen's decision of whom to marry and to protect whoever she chose. Odysseus married Helen's cousin Penelope and they had a son: Telemachus.
