Odysseus, the man, the myth,the legend, the hero? I believe Odysseus is a hero despite some of his actions I think he is a beast. I think Odysseus is a hero because he safely navigated out of a storm that came out of Poseidon's wrath. He also escaped Polyphemus and his island of cannibalistic cyclops. He also killed off the strongest men in Ithaca and took back his kingdom.
Imagine being caught in one of those scenes in a movie where people on a fishing boat are stuck out in the middle of a storm while trying to haul in the biggest fish on the planet.

He also saved most of his men which is pretty heroic to be honest.
As you can tell by my essay I think he is a hero. I liked looking at him as a hero a lot more than how most of the class did as a zero. I liked thinking of it in a positive way instead of a movie critic. Everyone makes mistakes and you have to understand that if you are going to think about The Odyssey like a logical person.
