Son of Laërtes and Anticlea, husband of Penelope, and father of Telemachus and Acusilaus, [1] Odysseus is renowned for his intellectual brilliance, guile, and versatility (polytropos), and is thus known by the epithet Odysseus the Cunning (Greek: μῆτις or mētis, "cunning intelligence" ). He is most famous for his nostos, or "homecoming", which took him ten eventful years after the decade-long Trojan War.
