Odysseus

Odysseus skin in God of War: Ascension

Odysseus (Greek: Ὀδυσσεύς) was the king of Ithaca, and the major character of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey. Odysseus also plays a key role in Homer's Iliad and other works in the Epic Cycle. He is available as a playable character in the multiplayer mode in God of War: Ascension.

Greek Mythology[]

Husband of Penelope, father of Telemachus, and son of Laërtes and Anticlea, Odysseus is renowned for his guile and resourcefulness, and is hence known by the epithet Odysseus the Cunning (mētis, or "cunning intelligence"). He is most famous for the ten eventful years he took to return home after the ten-year Trojan War and his famous Trojan Horse trick. Along the way, Odysseus and his men have to fight monsters and many other dangers. The main events (places he goes, creatures and people he meets) of Odysseus' journey are: the Kikones, the Lotus Eaters, the cyclops Polyphemus, Aeolus; King of the winds, the Laestrygonians, the sorceress; Circe, the Underworld, the Sirens, the sea monsters; Scylla and Charybdis, Helios' cattle, the nymph; Calypso, and the Phaeacians.
