Hero analyst
Odysseus in the book, "the odyssey", is portrayed as one of the first hero's there ever was. Homer is the author of this action pact classic. Homer says in his book, "While employed on the wild legend of Odysseus, he met with a ballad, recording the quarrel of Achilles and Agamemnon."(page 50), this is saying Odysseus is a legend. Odysseus has strength, experience, speed, and knowledge. "This poem includes the Phaeacian episode, and the account of Odysseus' adventures as told by himself in Books ix.-xii."(page13), this is an example of Odysseus's experience and knowledge.
Odysseus shows skill and bravery, which are also heroic traits, when he stabs the cyclops in the eye with a spear. Odysseus falls in love with Circe during his trip home and that's puts an extra year on his trip, it is a flaw that is evident. Him staying with Circe affects his journey because it makes his wife back home get more problems with the suiters.
