In Greek mythology, Odysseus is the son of Leontes and Antikyria (or Antikyria), the king of Ithaca and the leader of Kaifa Lenya. He is married to Penelope and has a son, Taylor Marcos (or telemachus). Heroes are also fortunate to receive special assistance and protection from the goddess Athena. Hesiod described Odysseus as "patient", while Homer most often described him as "sacred", and also described him as "an ideological resource equal to Zeus" and a truly great orator. His persuasive words "swarmed like snowflakes in winter". However, this hero is not only a thinker, but also a soldier. His courage and fighting ability are embodied in Homer's nickname "Urban Predator". "。 Homer also pointed out that the name Odysseus means "the victim of hatred", which undoubtedly refers to Poseidon's dissatisfaction with the hero.
The first rich source of information about Odysseus is Homer's description of the Trojan War in the Iliad, in which our hero is the protagonist. Odysseus participated in several important events, and his wisdom, wise advice and wit proved to be the crucial final victory of Greece in the war. However, Odyssey came very close to avoiding conflict. When he passed through Palamedes (the so-called messenger was Menelius), King Ithaca didn't want to leave his wife and family, so he pretended to be crazy. He did it convincingly. He put a cow and a donkey together to cultivate the land and sprinkled salt in the furrow. Paramedes was not deceived. By putting young Taylor Marcos in the path of the plow, Odysseus was forced to turn to prove that he was not so crazy.
Odysseus persuaded the reluctant Achilles to join the Greek expedition to Troy. Achilles was hidden by his mother Sitis (who knew his fate after the war) and raised by the royal family of Lukomedes on the island of Skiros. However, Pilars, the wise king of Nestor, predicted that only Achilles, a great warrior, could conquer the Great Wall Troy with the help of the hope of the Greeks. So the cunning Odysseus was sent to persuade Greece's greatest warrior to leave his wife and son and fight side by side with the army led by King Agamemnon. King Ithaca disguised himself as a rich salesman, lured Achilles to give up pretending to be one of Skiros' daughters, and revealed his true identity by displaying various exquisite weapons. The great soldier can't hide his interest. Achilles was followed by his powerful private army, Milton of Thessaly.
In the Trojan War, Odysseus came up with the wonderful idea of the Trojan horse.
Odysseus was once again chosen as the special envoy to persuade Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia to join the Greek army. Agamemnon killed the sacred deer of Artemis by mistake while hunting. According to the Prophet calka, only sacrificing the king's daughter can appease the goddess and let the Greeks sail safely to Troy. Odysseus went to Mycenae and promised Clytaemestra, the mother of Iphigenia, to marry the girl to Achilles. Seeing such a famous son-in-law, the queen was very happy and readily agreed. However, when they arrived at Ors, the sacrifice was ready and the poor girl was immediately put on the altar. Fortunately, just as Agamemnon put down his sword, themis took pity on the girl, replaced her with a deer, and left Iphigenia with her to become the priestess of Doris, the goddess refuge.
The Greeks duly welcomed the downwind and landed in Troy. Except for an episode in which Odysseus and diomedes ambushed young Duo Long in the forest, Odysseus had little to do in the final stage of the war. In the story of Achilles, there is some controversy about who should inherit the hero's gorgeous armor after death. Both Odysseus and Tramoni Ann Ajax filed claims, but in the end, it was decided in the voting that Odysseus obtained weapons and armor made in hephaestus under the condition that Athena influenced the proceedings.
Despite the loss of their amulet, the war continued, but at this time, the Greeks began to think more strategically about conquering the walls of Troy. The Prophet calka can only predict victory if the Greeks can somehow ensure three things. They are: Neo Ptolemy, son of Achilles, who took part in the war; Hercules "legendary weapon, and then in philoctetes (or in the hands of philoctetes), must be used; Finally, the Greeks had to occupy Paradion, a sacred wooden statue of Athena, which was thought to have fallen from the sky and was discovered by the founder of Troy, Troy. The Trojans thought that the statue gave them protection and strength, so the Greeks could gain a great advantage in the war by stealing it.
Odysseus is the man who accomplished these three arduous tasks. First, he returned to West Ross and persuaded the new Ptolemy to join him. Then he went to Lemnos Island and took the weapons of Philok and Hercules. But the latter was annoyed at being abandoned on the island at first, but it turned out that all Odysseus' persuasion efforts were worthwhile, because Philok theseus almost killed Paris with a deadly arrow.
Odysseus is one of the greatest heroes in Greek mythology.
The remaining three tasks need to be completed-to seize the sacred paradise from the city center. In order to find the exact location of the statue, Odysseus disguised himself as a beggar and sneaked into the city without being found. However, someone did recognize the infiltrator, that is, Helen, who is now forced to remarry another son of Priam and is eager to return to Greece. It was she who brought Odysseus to Paradion's residence. Odysseus returned to the Greek camp with this news. With the help of diomedes, the couple sneaked into the city again the next night and left with the statue.
Despite the theft of paradise and the rumble of war, it is obvious that if the Greeks want to win this conflict, they need a more ambitious strategy. Odysseus got inspiration from Athena and came up with the wonderful idea of riding a Trojan horse. He asked the carpenter to build a huge horse, in which some Greek soldiers could be hidden. The trick is how to persuade Trojans to bring horses into the city. Odysseus first asked all Greeks to give up their camps, leave sight and anchor near Tenedos Island. Only the horse stood alone on the plain, leaving one person, Snyder. He pretended to be pursued by the Greeks as an enemy and a potential victim. After gaining their trust, he told the credulous Troy a story about a rooster and a bull. Athena was angry that her statue was stolen. She punished the Greeks and told them that the only way to return to her good books was to build a huge Trojan horse for her honor and sail home. In the story, the hook, thread and pendant, the Trojan horse dragged the horse into the city at the right time and stood outside the temple of Athena. In addition to laocoon and Aeneas, the Trojans then started partying all night to celebrate the final victory of the war.
When the banquet finally ended and the Trojans fell asleep, Snell sent a signal to the waiting Greek ships, and they quickly returned to the Trojan coast. Odysseus and his Greek friends got off the horse and opened the door. The Greek army defeated the Trojans, defiled the temple and mercilessly slaughtered everyone.
An unfortunate consequence of the rude behavior of the Greeks in Troy was that the gods punished them and ensured that many of their ships suffered disasters on their way back. One of the few survivors was Odysseus, but only after Homer's Odyssey told about an incredibly long detour and unfortunate voyage.
In the past ten years, the hero has called at many ports in his Odyssey home, and few of them are friendly. The first stop was Cones Island, where Apollo gave the hero twelve bottles of wine. Then, attacked by the storm, Odysseus and his fleet were washed to the lotus-eating coast. Eating this plant made people forget their hometown, and the hero declined their hospitality and quickly continued to sail.
The next stop is Cyclops Island-Cyclops-they take care of their sheep calmly. Fortunately, however, Odysseus ran into the man-eating cyclops, Poseidon's wavelet. The giant took a fancy to the traveling Greeks, trapped them in his cave and soon ate two as appetizers. Odysseus saw the seriousness of the situation and immediately made a cunning escape plan. Polyphemus was seduced by wine until Cyclops got drunk. The hero ordered his men to turn Polyphemus's olive sticks into spikes, then harden them in the fire, and use them to blind the cyclops while they were sleeping. Polyphemus was angry that he couldn't see the way he was treated. When the Greeks left the cave to eat grass, it was understandable that Polyphemus tried to catch them by touching his sheep. Odysseus then instructed his men to tie themselves to the belly of the sheep. He chose a ram for this purpose, so they escaped and continued to sail. However, the laser eye cursed Odysseus. When he finally got there, he predicted that his people would lose his people, a boring trip home and disaster. With the help of his father Poseidon, Polyphemus ensured that there would be a storm ten years before Odysseus arrived in Ithaca.
Further adventures followed. Including a stop in Ionia (or Aeolia), Io Ross (or Aeolus) gave Odysseus a bottle containing all the winds except those that could take him home, but unfortunately, some employees of Odysseus let curiosity prevail, and they opened the bottle in Ithaca's sight. As a result, the wind escaped, and Odysseus' ship was thrown up by the storm and swept back to Ionia.
Sailing on, there were more unfortunate stopovers in Rigoni, Leicester, where huge locals led by Antiquitus threw huge stones at them, attacked and killed many people. Several survivors then took a boat to Aiyaya (or AEAEAEA), an island belonging to the witch Circe (or Kirke), where it was even more troublesome to wait for stranded navigators. The goddess turned a group of travelers into pigs, and Odysseus could only solve this problem with a gift from Hermes. The messenger God gave the hero Molly, a plant that made him immune to Circe's spell. But they got along quite well and became lovers, which led to the extension of Odysseus' stay to a whole year. Finally, Odysseus decided to continue his journey home. Circe suggested Odysseus visit the underworld and sought the advice of Thebes prophet Teresias, who would give him a travel route. On the journey there, the hero met his mother, Anthich Leah, who was heartbroken because her son had been away. He also met Hercules, Achilles, Agamemnon and many other fallen heroes. After returning to the living world, Sethi gave Odysseus one last piece of advice. This is to guard against Sai Ren, a bird creature with a female head. They captivated passers-by with beautiful and charming songs. Therefore, when the hero was on the siren island, he instructed the crew to block his ears with wax, and he was tied to the mast so that he could hear the sacred song without being trapped by it.
After successfully passing the alarm, the hero and the rest of his crew had to negotiate between two rocks, which were inhabited by the monster Schula (it has 12 feet and six heads, and takes pleasure in eating sailors) and Chi (it swallowed three oceans and spit them out three times, forming a terrible whirlpool). Six other crew members disappeared here, but the ship survived and sailed home.
Due to the bad weather and the exhaustion of food in Greece, the short stay in Thrinikia (or Thrinacie) became a month-long stay. Although Tresias suggested not to touch cows in Helius earlier, some hungry crew members, led by Eureka, slaughtered several animals for food. Angry Helius capsized the ship when it left Sri Nicchia. Odysseus, the only survivor of this disaster, was washed up on the coast of Augias after drifting for nine days. Here, the hero was imprisoned by the fairy for five years and enjoyed the charm of the fairy. Calypso mythology and she have a son, Nosius. However, because of our hero, Odysseus decided that he must try to return to his motherland again, despite providing immortal and eternal youth. With the intervention of God, the myth of Calypso helped the hero build a raft, and he set off for Ithaca again. However, Poseidon intervened maliciously again and caused a terrible storm, which shattered the raft into pieces. Odysseus was then washed away naked on the island of Cherillat, the hometown of Fiasians, and directly entered the sympathetic care of Nausikaa, the daughter of King Norse of Alkki (or Nios of alker). The hero who regained his health and vitality got a magical Phaiacian ship without the captain's driving. With this ship, Odysseus finally returned to Ithaca. However, as Polyphemus promised, not everything was smooth for the king. Palace.
Ten years later, Odysseus was almost forgotten, and only his wife Penelope kept faith in the long-lost king. Athena reported to the hero what happened during his absence. Considered dead for a long time, many suitors seek Penelope's help, and future kings (all 108) have been living in the palace. Nevertheless, Penelope has been delaying the decision to remarry, hoping that her husband is still alive somewhere. Therefore, in order to push the situation into crisis, the suitor plans to kill her son Telemarcos as soon as possible. At Athena's suggestion, Odysseus dressed as a beggar and went to the palace to assess the situation himself. Only Odysseus Argos knew his old master, but he died tragically after they met again. Odysseus showed his identity to his son Taylor Marcos (Taylor Marcos has just returned from Pilars). He planned a strategy to liberate all the followers of the palace and restore his legal authority. The man still pretends to be a beggar and is treated badly by court suitors, becoming the object of many cruel jokes, but will soon be retaliated.
Penelope challenged the suitor to marry him if one of them could wind the huge bowstring belonging to the old king and then shoot an arrow with twelve axes. Of course, the unlucky suitor doesn't even have the necessary strength to draw a bow, let alone shoot an arrow with it. Then, the beggar stood up, and in disbelief and ridicule, incredibly, he easily pulled open the bow and went straight through the axe. Odysseus took off his disguise, exposed his true identity and spread panic among suitors. However, the intruder had nowhere to escape, because Taylor Marcos had closed all the doors and dismantled the weapons installed on the wall as planned. Odysseus killed the suitors one by one with a wave of his hand, a bow and an arrow, and regained the long-abandoned kingdom.
The royal couple got together again after ten years' separation, and lived a happy life, or not completely happy. Because in the final turn of the tragedy, when old Odysseus landed in Ithaca, he unconsciously killed his father in the battle and was killed by Seti's son Teligonos.
Odysseus is a popular theme in ancient Greek art, which appears in vases, coins, sculptures, tripods and shields all over Greece. His logo is usually his Pilos, a conical felt hat. The pottery scenes depicting Odysseus' red and black characters in the 7th and 5th centuries BC include Achilles' mission, an argument with Ajax about Achilles' armor, Paradion's theft, blinding the laser and washing it away on the coast of Sierra, and revenge against Penelope's suitor. The theme of Trojan horse is surprisingly rare in Greek art, but it was discovered on Mykonos Island in 670 BC. The famous images of Odysseus and Sai Ren were found in the red character stamnos in the attic of Vulci in 450 BC.
