If I could choose to be any mythological character in the complete Trojan myth, I would be Odysseus because he is wise, cunning, and clever. In the book Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Edith says, “Odysseus, who was one of the shrewdest and most sensible men in Greece, did not want to leave his house and family to embark on a romantic adventure overseas for the sake of a faithless woman” (251). This quote shows Odysseus’s wisdom and tells everyone that Odysseus was not willing to participate in a war because of an unfaithful woman who was taken away from her husband. According to the book, Edith describes Odysseus as “the master of crafty cunning” (272), when the Greeks sent him to go steal Hercules’s bows and arrows from Prince Philoctetes.
