Many think that being a hero means having superpowers, but on the contrary, it is much more than that. A hero is someone who is distinguished by their courage and bravery, and who is appreciated for their great deeds. A hero like this is not only found in today's modern society, but also in mythology. In the epic poem The Odyssey by Homer, Odysseus deserves the title of true hero by conveying many qualities such as: determination, courage and leadership. As part of the hero profile, one must be determined, and Odysseus certainly was. If a hero is determined, he only has one goal in mind. To be determined, the hero goes through perils and challenges and above all, he can never lose hope. Likewise, Odysseus has one goal: to return home to Ithaca to see his family. Even if Odysseus faced the most life-threatening situations, he would not back down. “I have a long time...the trial is coming.” (Book V, lines 229-233). Odysseus has a clear mind and he won't let anyone or anything change him. Additionally, Odysseus never doubted himself as a leader. He's had enough failures, but he didn't want to get down on himself and give up. For example, he neglected to follow the advice of his crew member, Eurylochus. Eurylochus told Odysseus not to send men to see what was on Circe's island and because he sent them anyway, they ended up being turned into pigs. Odysseus made a mistake, but that didn't stop him from continuing. Even though Odysseus failed as a leader, he was nonetheless determined to become better. For example, when Odysseus and his crew arrive in the land of Ismaros, he specifically tells them not to touch the sheep. Odysseus warns his crew, but he is unable to establish a connection with them. They disobey Odysseus and slaughter sheep after sheep, which ...... middle of paper ...... as suitors. “Would I play such a trick on you, dear child? It's true, it's true, as I tell you, he came! This stranger they were harassing was Odysseus. Télémakhos knew it a few days ago: keep a cool head, never betray his father until he has paid for these stupid dogs! (Book XXIII, lines 27-32). Like most heroes, Odysseus was able to use his leadership abilities to reach his beloved, Penelope. In conclusion, Odysseus conveys the qualities of a true hero. He demonstrates courage, courage and management qualities. Odysseus displays these qualities throughout the journey in which he faced many difficult places and people. However, Odysseus overcomes everyone by setting only one goal: to return home. As long as he achieved this goal, nothing could stop him. Like a true hero, Odysseus never lost these traits no matter how bad a state he found himself in..
