horse‚ Odysseus shows wonderful leadership skills towards his men with his wily intelligence‚ warm compassion‚ and vast bravery. One of Odysseus’ best traits as a leader was his brilliant mind. Without his continuous wits‚ Odysseus would have never gotten his crew as far as he did. A great example of this creativity is when Odysseus and his men were trapped in the Cyclops’ (Polyphemus) cave. It was Odysseus who came up with blinding the drunken monster with a sharpened log and it was he who tricked

Athena who watches over his every move. So if his gifts and talents are god’s power then is he really a hero at all? Being heroic isn’t just about the looks as some would say. No one would claim a woman who has suffered greatly through Chemotherapy while struggling to beat her Cancer. She may not have the muscle or the power that these Greek hunks have but she certainly isn’t weak. This is what one would call spiritual heroics. “Odysseus‚ the man of many wiles”. In a similar sense when Odysseus is

people hear the word “hero”‚ they usually think one who has superpower. Not always. Usually people know heroes from reading books or watching movies. I read a literary history “Homer and the Odysseus”‚ which is an amazing epic story that can give you some inspirations for your life. The character “Odysseus” is a hero in the story who isn’t a god but a human-being. He is a brave‚ wise‚ noble‚ responsible‚ loyal‚ and tough man. In the story‚Odysseus was the Greek king of the country “Ithaca”. He and

Is Odysseus a hero or not? Is Odysseus a hero or not. The reason that I think that Odysseus is a hero is he has his own way of being one. He is a hero for being there for his men and his family.

The Aeneid is very much of a spiritual quest‚ which makes it unique in ancient literature and in contrast with the Odyssey. Only Virgil admits to the possibility that a character

Although Beowulf is the protagonist‚ the three antagonists possess more human characteristics than the hero. Monsters generally belong to the unknown realm‚ Grendel‚ Grendel’s mother‚ and the dragon are bestowed with individual identities much like humans (Yang). The monsters contained in the work are humanized by the author’s willingness to give them homes. The author gives each monster a personality
