And what he does there is, it's not all cunning, actually, interestingly.
He's quite kind of, he's mentioned as being quite stocky, quite kind of strong.
He does plenty of fighting of his own.
Butch Odysseus.
You know, absolutely.
He does a little bit of a spy reconnaissance mission in one book of the Iliad.
Goes out and kills a few Trojans at night.
But then, of course, famously, and this is outside the Iliad, this is in another one of those epics.
He is the one who comes up with the idea of the Trojan horse.
And that is really where his kind of cunning comes into play.
This idea that, you know, you could get this massive build, a massive wooden horse, fill it with Greeks, pretend that you had left all of the Greeks, their ships creep over the horizon, hide behind one of the islands.
The Trojans think that this is an offering to the gods.
They drag it into the city and then all of the Greeks leap out and they managed to raise Troy to the ground.
So that is Odysseus' idea.
There is.
And it's a really tragic episode because basically the Greeks start squabbling over who gets this great honor to have Achilles armor.
It's also some of it made by the gods.
So it's also incredibly kind of costly and precious armor.
But the main kind of ones who are kind of putting themselves forwards are Odysseus and Ajax, who is another Greek hero.
And when Ajax loses, he just absolutely cannot deal with this kind of insult to his honour.
