dreadful need in the devotee
The war all but ends at Odysseus’ hands. A too-clever heartless bastard, an infant in his hands, and a choice—no, wait. We’re getting ahead of ourselves.

It begins with a too-clever heartless bastard, an infant, and a choice. It isn't even a choice. //or Odysseus fails to dodge the draft. He makes this everyone else’s problem. And well, since he’s already here, he may as well win the damn war, too. Surely it’ll all be fine.
