He was as cunning as Odysseus, and there was animosity between them. In order to get out of his vow to go with the Greeks to Troy, Odysseus pretended to be mad by plowing the sands with a horse yoked to an ox. Palamedes then suggested that Telemachus, Odysseus' infant son, be placed in the paths of the oncoming plow. The Greeks took the advice and found that Odysseus turned his team aside to avoid killing the child. To be revenged for this revelation of his trickery, Odysseus later hid gold in Palamedes' tent and forged a letter from Priam that indicated that Palamedes had accepted a bribe to betray the Greeks. The ruse worked and Palamedes was put to death.
