Ulysses vs. Geats

Going in to this match, the odds are heavily leaning towards Ulysses winning, the Geats appear to be weak without their Beowulf and the Ithacans(?) Ithacites(?), the army of Ithaca and their leader Ulysses seem more than able to crush them. So if you are a supporter of the Geats, I suggest you continue below for this could get mighty ugly. Not to say that the Geats aren't amazing warriors, obviously they have some skill if their army produced Beowulf, and they had a slight technical advantage of the bow and arrow (Ooooo... so high-tech). But the Geats are essentially Swedish, and unless I've seriously missed something, the Swedes aren't exactly known for their military might. Ikea and ABBA, sure, but no great warrior nation. Now the Greeks have a slightly better military track record; they did get invaded by the Romans, but then again so did everyone at some point. They main advantage Ulysses is going to have is his cleverness, as early Europe was at somewhat of a lull in learning and thinking. I mean, the Geats are not going to fall for the horse trick again, but surely Ulysses can think of something? Again, I'm going to assume that Ulysses actually makes it to his destination and doesn't make enemies with the wind or something...

Who would win?

Ulysses

This was not a surprise. I told you what was going to happen. While Ulysses may have less men or a physically weaker army ( or I guess it would be a navy?), the Lit nerd writing this is going to believe that brain is better than brawn (sorry for the cliche...) Feel free to disagree (that rhymes!), but Ulysses is going to have to invest in a compass, because he is on his way to the semifinals!
