Odysseus
The king of Ithaca whose cunning wins wars, survives monsters, and turns homecoming into an epic test.
Legend File
Odysseus survives because he thinks sideways. In the Trojan War and on the long return to Ithaca, courage alone is never enough: names, disguises, timing, lies, endurance, and memory all become weapons. His journey is not only a monster route. It is a test of whether a person can return home without losing the self that left.
