Elgb's "Trojan War Part 2: Here We Go Again!" EDGES!!!

Weapons: I don't see Odyssues' weapons matching up well against Aeneas' divine weapons. His mother Aphrodite really blessed his son with some of the best tools around. Aeneas' celestial sword would bash through Odyseeus' puny xiphos and common spear. I will give Odysseus a point for carrying a bow laser-guided by Athena that would hopefully pinpoint Aeneas' unarmored parts. But if Aeneas' is agile enough, and if he ever gets close, then Odyseeus is toast. EDGE: Aeneas

Armor: Again same thing applies here. Aeneas has divine armor while Odysseus have common armor. Aeneas again takes the edge. EDGE: Aeneas

Divine Aid: Yeah well, this time I give the edge to Odysseus. Aphrodie was never really known for her prowess or feats in direct combat. And most of ehr assistance comes from pampering her son with the best gifts rather than offering parental involvement. Athena is one of the best Greek gods around with her divine wisdom and ability to basically make other gods her ****. I mean come on, she once helped Diomedes beat the crap out of Athena before (and beat up Ares afterwards). So I don't see why Athena wouldn't help Odysseus chase away Aphrodite too. EDGE: Odysseus

Deadliest Warrior?

Now this is a tough one. We have Aeneas here who has the best divine weapons, and Odysseus here who has the better god at his side. Its a bit of a stalemate here so I have to consdier every possible scenario I can think of. Give or take Athena would definitely kick Aphrodite's ass out of the battlefield with no problem whatsoever early in the game. Its basically simple math, Goddess of War>Goddess of Beauty. There's also the possibility that Athena can pull off another Diomedes' miracle and help Odysseus wound and chase Athena away. Without Divine Aid, Aeneas' would be stuck with fighting Odysseus himself.

However, this is where Aeneas would shine the most. He has the better weapon here that Odysseus has almost nothing to counter. The only thing he has is his laser-guided bow courtesy of Athena. If Odysseus can pull of a shot straight to Aeneas' unarmored parts early then he may just win. But if Aeneas managed to clsoe the gap enough to make that bow useless, then Odysseus' chances of winning is slim. Aeneas will have a hard time trying to hit Odysseus with his javelins and melee thrusts since Athen'as on his side, but in time just one blow would be enough to cripple and kill the Greek hero.

Odyesseus was smart and nothing can take that away from him, but he was cocky and a bit of a dumbass in some of his stories (you got many of your crew killed, a**hole!). Ina  straight up fight, Odyseeus won't have enough time to think of a way to defeat this kid with weapons he has never faced before, especially if said kid is out there slashing at him with said divine weapons. To put it lightly, Odyseeus have the battle early in the fight, but Aeneas would end up being victorious once these two finally clash.
