Teachers & SchoolsOdysseus, King of Ithaca, was the craftiest of all the Greek heroes. He could definitely kick butt when butt needed kicking, but he had a real knack for persuasion and trickery. Odysseus's quick wits were on full display throughout the Trojan War. And during his long journey home (which we know all about thanks to Homer), Odysseus time and again used his sharp wits and silver tongue to escape danger after danger. You might criticize Odysseus's less than straightforward methods, but for the wily King of Ithaca, the ends always justify the means.
