...described Odysseus was a courageous and impressive hero. Additionally, they refer to him as a wondrous person who can achieve (and already has achieved) extraordinary feats. When Helen described Odysseus, she told Telemachus how Odysseus disguised himself as a poor slave to hoodwink the Trojans. "He had, first, given himself an outrageous beating and thrown some rags on–like a household slave–then slipped into that city of wide lanes among his enemies." (pg. 60) Odysseus had done this to blend in with the other townsfolk. He also had heard about the Trojans' plans, so when he learned those plans, he was cunning enough to overthrow their plans. Similarly, when Menelaus described Odysseus, he said Odysseus was...

...Penelope is Odysseus’s wife. Odysseus is Penelope’s husband. They are similar and different in many ways. Penelope is also a daughter of Icarius of Sparta and the nymph Periboea and the mother of Telemachus. Odysseus is also the father of Telemachus, and the son of Laertes and Anticleia, and as well a knight who was apart of the Trojan War. Periboea hid her infant daughter as soon as she was born, knowing that Icarius had wanted a son. As soon as Icarius discovered the baby girl, he threw her into the sea to drown. However, a family of ducks rescued her. Seeing this as an omen, Icarius named the child Penelope (after the Greek word for "duck") and raised her as his favorite child. When Penelope reached womanhood, Odysseus asked for her hand in marriage. Although to part...

...girl” (Head and McLea 148). This goes to show how Perseus puts his own life at risk to ensure the safety of another’s. Likewise, Odysseus shows determination in the entirety of his journey back home. Odysseus exhibits determination initially at the Land of the Lotus Eaters. The hero is not tempted to eat this seemingly harmless drug, which causes one to lose focus and stay on the island forever. In fact, Odysseus even calls his men to return to the ship, “‘All hands aboard; come,...

...that follow along the definition of an epic hero. An epic hero is a brave and noble character in an epic poem, admired for great achievements or affected by grand events. Dante’s Aligheri’s Inferno and Homer’s The Odyssey respectively have two characters that fulfill what is like to be recognized as a brave and noble character. Throughout both poems, we can see how each character has unique qualities that make them outstand and set them up as a leader, but at the same time, they have the flaws of any human being. It is clear when a character overcomes the status of any human being and sets the lead as a hero. An important trait of an epic hero is the fact that starts a journey; it may be of a personal matter, such as Dante, or of societal matter, like Odysseus. In The Odyssey, Odysseus is a war hero travelling home after a period of twenty years. In this epic, Odysseus is brought out as a hero with superhuman courage. In most cases, he has been shown fighting with supernatural forces. One characteristic of this journey that is different from Dante is that the hero in this epic fights against external forces. Odysseus faces many challenges while traveling home. To begin with, he is cast on an island that is surrounded by waters. Some situations appear to have no immediate solution as one is surrounded by problems. Secondly, he is strongly opposed by the god Poseidon and the seas. The reason for this is a past grudge he had with god Poseidon. As he approaches his home,...
