    Is Odysseus a Hero

    Is Odysseus a hero? I feel that Odysseus‚ like any person‚ can be a hero at some times and very selfish at other times.

On almost any page you turn to in the book‚ you can find some act of selfishness coming from Odysseus. During his journey‚ Odysseus performs many courageous acts

    Lancelot and Odysseus "Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good (Romans 12:9)." This principal seems to be markedly evident as one closely examines the actions and thoughts behind the character of Sir Lancelot in The Knight of the Cart. When one encounters the adventures of Odysseus in The Odyssey‚ however‚ the values of a completely different and slightly opposing culture present themselves. In the medieval times of Sir Lancelot‚ an ideal man would tend to
