Odysseus’s is not a hero because he is self obsessed, while on the other hand Antigone is a hero because she is selfless. Odysseus is not a hero because he is self obsessed.

their notions. Socrates has the opportunity to escape prison, but he prefers death because he thinks it's immoral of him to break the law. Similarly, Antigone chooses death in order to bury her brother, Polyneices, because he isn't getting a proper burial,…

King Creon has made a decree that no one should bury him. This can be seen during the speech to the crowd of people by Creon when he says “proclamation has forbidden the city to dignify him with burial, mourn him at all” (Sophocles 27-28).
