Odysseus
Chief character of Homer's Odyssey, king of the island of Ithaca (modern Thiaki or Levkas); he is also mentioned in the Iliad as one of the leaders of the Greek forces at the siege of Troy. Odysseus was distinguished among Greek leaders for his cleverness and cunning. He appears in other later tragedies, but his ten years' odyssey by sea after the fall of Troy is the most commonly known tradition.
