Odyessus is considered the cleverest of the Greeks for many reasons, not least of all because no matter how many times he messes up, he finds a way out of the mess.
It was Odyessus who came up with the idea of the Trojan horse, and perhaps even how to get the Trojans to take the horse into the city in the Aenad.
It is that same man who, while bungling with Cyclops, figures out that if he ties his men to the underside of the sheep, the blinded Cyclops will not realize they are escaping.
If you go through the Odyessey, you will find other instances of how Odyessus used clever techniques to get out of tough binds.
