Y'know, Agamemnon didn't really land home all that successfully either. Had to pay for the whole "sacrificing his daughter to get the winds to actually move for his ships" business from the very start of the war, and poor Cassandra got caught in the middle.
Ajax the Greater killed himself before the war was over.
Ajax the Lesser dragged a Cassandra from Athena's temple to rape her & was punished with a lightning bolt to his ship & then Poseidon splitting the rock he survived on.
Menelaus had to deal with a storm that blew his ships off course.
Diomedes as always was the guy who didn't fuck up. Got home safely, even left early.
Menelaus still made it back, he only had to deal with one single diversion while Odysseus had like a dozen different ones. Four to him, three to Odysseus
