Odysseus was a very arrogant man‚ he wanted people to know‚ Odysseus was in town. I believe that this even went into his own personal life. While at the war at Troy and on his adventure back‚ Penelope was having to keep suitors off her back. Once odysseus comes home‚ he is mad that they would do that kind of thing to him. Odysseus kills all of the suitors. He had a right to kill them‚ although there is always 2 or more ways to do or say something‚ and he could have handled it more humanly. When you

What do you consider to be a hero? What traits should a hero have? My hero is Odysseus. In The Odyssey by Homer‚ Odysseus proves to be a true epic hero through his intelligence‚ bravery‚ and loyalty. One way that Odysseus uses his intelligence is to help his men. For instance‚ He puts beeswax in all of his crew’s ears when passing the Sirens.

Aeolus and the Aeolian Bag could have been avoided if Odysseus has inspired a shared vision and encourage the heart. Like the text mentions‚ leaders cannot expect commitment if you are not putting in the effort to encourage it.

Odysseus shows self-control when he resists
