Odysseus uses craftiness and a timely use of prevarication to help his crew escape the cyclops, Polyphemus. He also uses resourcefulness to help his crew escape the sirens and make sure he could listen to their song without suffering any of the consequences. Using craftiness and wisdom, Odysseus and his crew escape Circe and sail past Scylla instead of Charybdis. He uses craftiness to choose the option which will result in the least amount of lost lives. He uses resourcefulness such as when he dresses as an old beggar when he returns home and contends with the suitors trying to marry his wife. Because of this, he gets rid of all the unwanted men in his house and is reunited with his wife.

Isis, an important Egyptian heroine, teaches society the importance of being a good parent and the importance of patience. Isis is known as
