Odysseus is the hero that the Achaeans most admired. His intelligence‚ wit‚ and morals of the day allow the Greeks to look up to him as a role model. Perhaps the greatest characteristic that separates Odysseus from the suitors and his fellow shipmates is the wit and ability to trust the gods with their advice.
