Well respected for his resourcefulness and insight, but Greek warfare disdained victory through trickery.
You will notice that unlike many other pantheons, Greek mythology lacks a god of deceit. This is because the Greeks themselves despised the idea of dishonesty.
Odessyus was very respected by the Greeks for his trickery and shrewness. He was turned to in many instances for his counsel and advice. No one doubted or was put off by his intelligence. Remember that he also tried to get out of going to the war in the first place by a dishonorable ruse. And his reputation was not damaged by that personally shameful act.
I think your theory is lacking particularly since the Greeks were not that opposed to tricks in war. Some of them were little better than sea raiders or pirates.
