(This is the second half of the essay.) Secondly, as redundantly said a plethora of times before, the man of the hour was a very selfish and ungrateful leader. Throughout The Odyssey, and the film also named The Odyssey directed by Andrei Konchalovsky, depicted Odysseus constantly fighting and arguing with the gods over the littlest things.
