Mythical king of Ithaca, hero of the siege of Troy (8)

I believe the answer is:

odysseus

(Other definitions for odysseus that I've seen before include "King of Ithaca, who returned after the siege of Troy" , "character on an epic journey" , "Legendary hero" , "Voyager" , "Greek name for Ulysses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
