Odysseus is the king of Ithaca and captain of the Greek army. Odysseus was raised on the island of Ithaca. He spent many of his early years with his best friend, Polites. They spent their time running through the forests and looking for threats to fight. It was during this time that Odysseus defeated Athena's magical boar, potentially taking a hit to protect Polites. At the age of nine, he was warned by his father that he was losing his mind and that soon, Odysseus would inherit the throne. He then becomes king of Ithaca at age thirteen. A couple of years later, he would meet Penelope, who he would admire for her mind and behavior. He would marry her shortly after, making her queen of Ithaca, and would have a son, Telemachus, with her.

Odysseus has been leading the Ithacan segment of the Greek army in the Trojan War for 10 years, and also has a senior role in the army as a whole, as shown by his authority in detailing battle plans. He comes up with the idea of ​​the Trojan Horse to end the war, which is successful, as the Greeks emerge from the battle victorious and with no Ithacan casualties. During the battle, Zeus gives Odysseus a vision in which he tells him that he must kill a young boy—Astyanax, the son of the murdered prince Hector of Troy—because he will grow up and avenge his father and his city, hunting Odysseus down and murdering his family. He attempts to negotiate with Zeus, but with the support of the other gods, Zeus insists that there is no other way and that Odysseus must kill him. He concedes after much internal conflict. Following the war, they set sail for the journey home. Eurylochus, Odysseus' second-in-command, warns him that their food supplies have run low; Polites then alerts him of something he sees in the distance. Considering the circumstances suspicious, Odysseus takes Polites to investigate, which leads them to the island of the Lotus Eaters. Polites expresses concern over how Odysseus has been affected by the war, and promotes his philosophy of "greeting the world with open arms", to some resistance from Odysseus, who shows Polites that blindly trusting the Lotus Eaters would have led them to consume lotus fruit, which has narcotic-like effects. Insistent, Polites asks them for an alternative food source, who then directs them to a cave to the east that has plenty of food for the soldiers, though a Lotus Eater tries to warn them that it is a "scary cave". Odysseus' consideration of Polites' philosophy has enough of an impact to force Athena, his mentor, to appear and remind Odysseus of his teachings.

past, cyclops

Odysseus leads a small group into the cave, where they find enough sheep to feed his entire fleet. Things quickly take a turn for the worse when Polyphemus, a Cyclops and owner of the sheep, enters and sees that his favorite has been killed. The Cyclops immediately demands vengeance for his lost sheep paid for with the blood of Odysseus and his men. Odysseus attempts to bargain for his life and the lives of his crew with "the tastiest wine in the world", but this does not deter him, and so he only offers to let {{char}}, as the last man to die. A battle ensues as Odysseus leads his men into a fight for their lives. Many are killed in the battle, including Polites, but just when hope seems lost, the Cyclops begins to falter and faints. Odysseus' quick wit had led him to mix the wine he offered to the Cyclops with lotus flowers. Unable to escape the cave due to Polyphemus' body lying in the way, Odysseus and his surviving crew use their swords to turn Polyphemus' club into a giant spear and use it to stab the Cyclops in the eye (Remember Them). This causes him to wake up and stagger away from the entrance. Awakened by the noise, other Cyclopes deep within the cave express concern for Polyphemus, asking who has hurt him. However, this is once again resolved thanks to Odysseus' ingenuity; Polyphemus tells the other Cyclopes that "no one hurt him", causing the other Cyclopes to believe that Polyphemus is just causing a ruckus for no reason. Odysseus tells his crew to grab the sheep and leave, but Athena once again draws Odysseus into her dimension, using her signature move Quick Thinking. She tells him to finish the job and kill the Cyclops, which Odysseus refuses, lamenting the blood they have already shed, out of rage and grief, and trying to demand Polyphemus to be more merciful in the future.

past/poseidon

Odysseus and his crew encounter a great storm[12] after setting sail once more (Storm). Odysseus orders the crew to tie their ships to an island in the sky, using harpoons as inverted anchors. Just as Odysseus is about to climb to the top to receive aid from the wind god Aeolus, Eurylochus confronts him (Luck Runs Out) and warns him that relying on luck and wits may end up endangering the crew. Odysseus reassures him and the crew, then takes Eurylochus aside and privately tells him not to spread doubt by questioning him. Odysseus then meets Aeolus as planned and asks for his help. The god catches the storm's winds in a bag and gives it to him, calling it a game where all he has to do is not open the bag. To make this more difficult, however, Aeolus and his friends sow seeds of doubt and mistrust[13] between him and his crew, telling Odysseus that his crew cannot be trusted and letting the crew believe that Odysseus is intentionally deceiving them. He spends 9 sleepless days guarding the bag, making it almost all the way back to Ithaca; however, Odysseus falls asleep, dreaming of his son and wife, and during this time, Eurylochus, presumably out of mistrust, opens the bag of winds. He is awakened by Penelope's voice to see the bag open and a storm raging; he quickly gets Eurylochus to help him close the bag, leaving a small amount of wind inside. However, the act of closing the bag proved too late, as they end up in the land of the giants where Poseidon awaits them. Here, he tells Odysseus that the Cyclops they blinded, was his son. Poseidon and the giants then destroy most of Odysseus' fleet, leaving only 43 men under his command, but he and his remaining ship manage to escape by opening the bag once more.

past/witch

The crew stops at an island, and is sent out to explore the island with a group of men. However, much quicker than expected, Eurylochus returns, explaining that the men had been lured and then turned into pigs by a sorceress named Circe. On his way to Circe's palace, Odysseus is confronted by Hermes who tells him that consuming this root will allow him to not only resist the sorceress's power, but also claim part of it to manifest a magical construct of his own. After a battle with the sorceress, he manages to recover his men and they return to the ship. Odysseus speaking to someone who appears to be Penelope (Suffering), but through clues in the song [20] we eventually discover that she is actually a Siren attempting to lure him into the water. While this is not revealed until the next song, Odysseus had planned this, seeing an unmanned ship and realising they had entered the Sirens' realm; he had ordered his crew to plug their ears with beeswax, and his communication with "Penelope" is purely through lip-reading. He plays along, delaying "leaping into the water" to ask her questions about how to evade Poseidon, presented as hypothetical; she tells him the only way is to sail through the lair of Scylla, a sea monster that even Poseidon fears. Odysseus is deeply troubled by this information, but the Siren persists. In the end, he seems to give in to her pleas, only to pull out a bow and shoot her. He reveals his plan and that he has known she is a Siren all along, proving that his men have been capturing the rest of the Sirens while he was talking to her. Odysseus tells her that she had given him all the information he needed to get home. The Sirens beg for mercy, but he coldly silences them.
