Ulysses is the Roman name of the Homeric Greek hero, Odysseus, known for his wit and cunning and his ten year voyage to return to his kingdom of Ithaca after ten years in the Trojan war.
The journey is recounted in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, though the story starts with his son Telemachus setting out to uncover the whereabouts of his father after the goddess Athena greets him in the guise of a man, assuring him that his father still lived.
Odysseus also played a part in The Iliad, which covered the end of the Trojan war. However, Odysseus was but one member of a larger ensemble.
