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 his courage and courage and is appreciated for his great deeds. A hero like this is not only found in today's modern society, but also in mythology. In Homer's epic poem The Odyssey, Odysseus earns the title of true hero by conveying many qualities such as: determination, courage and leadership. As part of the hero's profile, one should be determined, and Odysseus certainly was. If a hero is determined, he has only one goal in mind. To be determined, the hero goes through dangers and challenges and, most importantly, can never lose hope. Likewise, Odysseus has a goal: to return home to Ithaca to see his family. Even if Odysseus had to face the most life-threatening things, he would not back down. “I have long… come the trial.” (Book V, lines 229-233). Ulysses has clear ideas and will not allow anything or anyone to change them. Furthermore, Odysseus never doubted himself as a leader. He had a sufficient number of failures, but he did not give up or give up. For example, he neglected to follow the advice of his crewman, 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 venturing further. Although Odysseus failed as a leader, he was still determined to improve. 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 is unable to establish a connection with them. They disobey Odysseus and slaughter one sheep after another, which......middle of paper......like the suitors. “Would I play a trick like that on you, dear child? It's true, it's true, as I tell you, he has come! The stranger they were luring was Ulysses. Telemachus knew this for days: cold mind, he would never betray his father until he repaid those swollen dogs! (Book XXIII, lines 27-32). Like most heroes, Odysseus was able to use his leadership skills to reach his beloved Penelope. In conclusion, Ulysses conveys the qualities of a true hero, shows fortitude, courage, and portrays management qualities. Odysseus displays these qualities throughout his journey where he faced many challenging people and places. However, Ulysses surpasses everyone by having only one goal: to return home. As long as he achieved that goal, nothing could stop him. Like a true hero, Odysseus never lost these traits, no matter how much trouble he was in.
