Odysseus was a minor character in the first book before he became the main protagonist of the sequel. So yes, Odysseus was there before the Odyssey.

Ackshually, The Odyssey is said to have been written before The Iliad, making the latter the prequel of the former.

But since the name Odysseus was in use throughout Greece before the birth of Homer then yes indeed, Odysseus was there before The Odyssey.

Exactly, those old episodes with Dr Crane working at Arkham Asylum really hit different once you know about his dark past

Wait are you referencing something else or did Cheers have a crossover with Batman?
