    Is Odysseus a hero?

    By Jay Kofi Twum


    Perks

    I believe a hero is something or someone


    who has courage and is brave, someone
    that is intelligent and wise, someone who is
    loyal to others and in the mythological
    Greek world divine birth or help and
    support from the gods.

    I believe Odysseus has courage because


    when he was in Polyphemus’ cave he was
    able to lead his men, give the giant, which
    is twice his size, a pot of strong wine
    without trembling and falling with fear.He
    also had the nerve to blind Polyphemus
    with a heated wooden stake.

    Odysseus is wise because he said nobody


    when Polyphemus asked him for his name
    so when Polyphemus called out to his
    brothers to help him his brothers were
    confused “Nobody has hurt me!”.On the
    contrary, he wasn’t very intelligent when he
    was boasting about who had outsmarted
    him which costed him 10 more years at sea
    but that may have been something most
    Greek heroes would do in those times
    spreading their name to be known all
    around the world for doing one deed which
    normally wouldn’t be done by the average
    person.In addition, it wasn’t fair to his crew
    mates that sometimes he would put them
    at risk because he wanted something for
    himself like the sirens (heads of humans and
    bodies of birds) when he wanted to listen to
    their songs he must have screamed at them
    to untie him.

    I think Odysseus is loyal because he was the


    king of Ithaca and loyal to his wife and
    household but he did stay with Circe and
    Calypso for a few years as they held him
    hostage on their islands and in which he did
    commit adultery.
    To my conclusion he can be hubris which
    greatly impacts his communication skills so I
    believe he is a hero but can improve.
