about

King Ulysses lived happily on the island of Ithaca with his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus. At the outbreak of the Trojan War all the Gercian Kings were ordered to participate in the war. Ulysses pretended to be crazy to escape a war that would have kept him away from home. The deception of Ulysses, intent to throw salt on the sand plowed by oxen, was discovered by Palamedes sent by Agamemnon to ascertain the rumors that Ulysses had gone crazy. Palamedes used his son Telemachus to test Ulysses' sanity. Ulysses, in front of the danger stopped the oxen that otherwise would have run over Telemachus placed on one of the furrows by Palamedes; Ulysses was absolutely not crazy. The king of Ithaca was thus forced to leave; he prepared his army, said goodbye to his family and reluctantly set sail for a journey that would keep him away for many years.
