Odysseus

== Odysseus' History== Unlike many heroes of myth, Odysseus never sought personal glory or a magnificent treasure; he was just an ordinary man looking for nothing more than a way back to his wife and home. The king of Ithica, Odysseus fought in the legendary Trojan War, and is credited with concocting the scheme of the Trojan Horse. After the war, Odysseus and his men set out for home, but fate and the gods constantly schemed against them. Tossed about by the unforgiving sea, Odysseus' crew was beset by giant Cyclopses, the sorceress Circe, and the merciless sea monster Scylla. Armed with little more than his wits, Odysseus overcame each trial, and was finally reunited with his beloved queen, Penelope.
