We all have our personal heroes that we like to compare to others. Mine is Walt Disney in comparison to Odysseus, king of Ithaca. Odysseus is from an island in the Ionian Sea in Greece, “Ithaca is an island in the Ionian Sea in Greece, which was an important setting in one of the most famous myths of ancient Greece, the Odyssey (Ithaca, 2017).” And Walt Disney is from Hermosa, Chicago, IL. Odysseus is a typical hero we all think of when we hear the word hero on behalf of he faces challenges and uses his Machiavellian and attractiveness to pull him out of trouble, but Walt Disney is a hero we wouldn’t think of for the reason that he lets little kids know that as long as they don’t give up they can carry out anything and if he gave up we wouldn’t

Odysseus’ main ally is Athena, goddess of war and wisdom. Odysseus also has Circe, goddess of love, and Anemoi, god of wind. Odysseus also had Zeus as anally, who stopped Poseidon from killing Odysseus because he stabbed out the eye of Polyphemus, cyclops and son of Poseidon. “The cyclops bellowed and the rock roared round him, and we fell back in fear.

The two sides of the strait were within an arrow's range of each other—so close that sailors attempting to avoid Charybdis would pass dangerously close to Scylla and vice versa (Scylla 2017).” Walt Disney had to face the choice of giving up and being a failure compared to working hard no matter what anyone says about it. They each had an all or nothing choice. Lose all by giving up or trying to fight Charybdis or keep trying and lose part, but win in the end by getting eight million dollars for the first animated film or making it home to
