Question

“Who is More Heroic: Odysseus, Penelope or some other character from the Odyssey?” Be sure to cite evidence from the text to support your viewpoint, as well as address at least one counter-argument.

Answer 1

In the Odyssey it is very clear that there are a lot of heroic charctors indubitably since the book is an epic. One character stands out as having the most noble and honorable trait that is Penelope she is an honorable and faithful wife who is waiting for odessyous return from the war. A scene in this book that demonstrates this best is when penople making Odessyous burial should while really its trying to prevent a marriage to another man on the island so she can remain true to Odessyous. You may say that she doesn't do much like save lives or slay giant Cyclopes but what makes a hero it's the noble qualities the deeds they do how they stand up for what they know is right therefore I say the must heroic hero is in fact Penelope.
