Odysseus
An epic hero is one who embodies the ideas of a society, overcomes obstacles and is courageous, intelligent, and honorable. Odysseus, one of the very first hero's ever to be told about in this world, was one of the most famous also. But is Odysseus an epic hero? What do I think? I believe that Odysseus is not an epic hero. A reason for this is that Odysseus shows no honor in his home when he falls in love with Circe and stays there with her instead of his original wife, Penelope. He is also not that intelligent for staying. Odysseus is not an epic because of the way he acts, he is selfish and takes all the credit.
