- King Odysseus is at home, in Ithaca, with his wife, Penelope, and newborn son, Telemachus.
- Odysseus is called to fight the Trojans by King Menelaus.
- He does not want to leave his family and sail to Troy; he knows it will be a long trip. He pretends to have gone mad, until Palamedes, sent to retrieve Odysseus, put Telemachus in front of Odysseus' plow. Odysseus had to reveal his sanity in order to save Telemachus.
