He worried about his crew safety and made sure they were all doing well constantly. Being a caring leader that can take control yet be caring is a great quality. He teaches us that returning is what matters, since family and friends are his motivation. Although he might seem cold when it comes to his mates dying and not grieving for too long, this shows a deep understanding and maturity in my opinion.

It's a copy and paste format of the information above meee :D
~made sure his crew got home safely because they mattered to him more then his own life ~he portrays the characteristics of a true hero and what it means to be one by how he achieved this ~Odysseus also proves that he is a hero by wanting to get home, that even the best of heros long to get back to there families and this gives them a purpose. Also the ways that people would say that he is not a representation of a hero is that he showed little compassion for when his crew mates died, and moved on very quickly and wanted to keep moving towards home. Hope this helps and please rate, thanks, and give a brainliest to help me achieve expert ;)
