The comment about Odysseus turning up late is likely a reference to the fact that, in mythology, he attempted to get out of the war by pretending to be mad. A prophecy had told him that, if he took part in the siege, he would be away for twenty years. According to Homer, the Trojan War lasted ten years, followed by the ten years Odysseus spent trying to get home to Ithaca.
