    Anyone who is successful in completing a gallant and courageous act, can be considered a hero. In The Odyssey, Odysseus is an admirable hero because he uses strategy instead of strength to overcome several obstacles. Homer presents this in Odysseus’s use of deception, the route he chooses to get home, his choice of words and his use of disguises. To overcome a hurdle one may wish for a great deal of strength. Yet when Odysseus came in contact with a giant Cyclops, he never questioned nor focused on his lack of vitality.…

    In epic The Odyssey written by Homer, a man somewhere in between the world of gods and mortals named Odysseus goes on a 10-year journey in which he leaves his wife Penelope and son Telemachus behind. The challenges he faces while on his journey characterizes him in a visible form that can alter the way a reader experiences The Odyssey. Being able to deceive people, think his way out of tough situations, and to overpower other stronger beings, makes Odysseus an intelligent, clever man who affects the overall understanding of the story by changing the perspective readers have on those he interacts with. Odysseus demonstrates clever thinking when he knocks out the Cyclops Polyphemus with liquor.

    Odysseus says, “’I wanted to see [the Cyclops] and claim the stranger’s gift… So we lit a fire and made our thank-offering, and helped ourselves to as many cheeses as we wanted to eat; then we sat inside till he should come back with his flocks’” (111). Odysseus is impulsive and does not think before he acts. He is very selfish and only wants to see what glory the Cyclops gives him. He expects everyone to bow down to him, let alone know who he is, contrasting Odysseus when he fights the suitors at the end of the story and receives glory from his city. When Polyphemus, the Cyclops who happens to be Poseidon’s son, returns home, he traps Odysseus and his crew in his cave.…

    Trusting people other than oneself can mean the difference between life and death. Whether the other person has more power or better insight, by trusting others and accepting their help, one can accomplish far more than they could alone. All of the different narratives of The Odyssey display the importance of trust and the harmful consequences that occur when one refuses to have faith in those around them. Odysseus’ lack of trust delays his homecoming, while Telemachus’ and Penelope’s willingness to trust others is rewarded with information, life, and ultimate happiness. Odysseus has a habit of distrusting everyone due to the abuse he suffered from Poseidon.…
