Odysseus. His name is related to odune, grief. He spends an awful lot of The Odyssey weeping for Penelope. One of the central themes of the Odyssey is that emotions or human functions like sleeping, eating, etc, are things that are to be avoided in excess. We see Odysseus run into trouble every time something like that happens (his men eat the sacred cattle, he falls asleep and they let the Winds out of the bag, etc). It seems kind of odd, but it's a prevalent theme in Ancient Greek religion: meden agon, "nothing in excess". I'm pretty sure whoever the questioner is asking about is NOT Odysseus. Odysseus did cry for his wife, Penelope, but it he did not cry enough for her for it to be considered "too much". In fact, Penelope cried more for Odysseus than Odysseus did for her.
