| | Odysseus arrived with a cartload of weapons under a pile of dresses and as the girls took the dresses, Achilles took a sword for himself out of habit and thus revealed his true identity by accident. | | | Odysseus also met the ghost of Achilles and told him of the bravery of his son, Neoptolemus, at Troy. | | | Odysseus ended up dying from a spear tipped in the venom of a stingray that actually fulfilled Teiresias’s prediction of Odysseus’s death coming from the sea. |

| | Ingenuity in the Odyssey |
| | The simile implicitly emphasizes the superior civilization of Odysseus and his men, who see the club in terms of a ship's mast, an identification that the Cyclopes could never make because of their ignorance of shipbuilding. | | | In Greek Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name is Outis, a combination of two words, ou tis, which literally means 'not anyone', i.e. | | | Only Helen is able to see beyond the disguise and swears an oath not to reveal his identity. |
