  Palamedes, Greek Mythology Link.
Palamedes, they say, noticing that Odysseus was performing a farce, took his son Telemachus from the cradle and put him in front of the plow, exhorting Odysseus to give up his pretence.
It is told that Odysseus compelled a Trojan prisoner to write a letter of treasonable purport, which seemed to be sent by King Priam 1 of Troy to Palamedes, and that he dropped the letter in the camp to be found and at the same time buried gold in the quarters of Palamedes.
For the next day, when Palamedes was brought before Agamemnon, he denied having betrayed the army, but he was not able to convince either the king or anyone else of his innocence, after soldiers went to his tent and dug up the gold that sly Odysseus had hidden.

 Philostratus' Heroicus Selections
Before Palamedes, seasons as such did not yet exist, nor did the cycle of the months, and "year" was not yet a word for time; nor were there coins, nor weights and measures, nor counting, and the desire for knowledge did not yet exist, because there were no letters of the alphabet yet.
Odysseus, however, disagreed with Palamedes from that time on: there was an eclipse of the sun at Troy, and the army lost courage, because they took it as a sign from Zeus for the future.
Indeed, he reports that Palamedes did not make supplication, either to say anything pitiable or to lament, but after he had said, "I have pity on you, Truth, for you have perished before me," he held out his head to the stones as though knowing that Justice would be in his favor.
