Odysseus is an enigma. His disguises hide him in the battlefield and his lies mask him everywhere else. Such deceits are so frequently seen in Homer`s Odyssey that it is difficult to even know where the truths end and the lies begin‚ or even if there is an implied truth in a whole conversation. Furthermore‚ the conversations themselves seem to easily embrace the alluring veils and it is hard to find a single conversation that does not withhold the truth‚ or is not lies or is not heavily reliant of

I could only stare agape when our commander stood there lik an ignoramus. Odysseus sneered and cackled nearly overpowering Polyester’s vexing thunder.
