Each line contains ten syllables

An iamb is only two syllables but Shakespeare's lines are made of 10 syllables. It's called iambic pentameter because two syllables (one unstressed and one stressed) five (penta) times equals 10 for the meter. Meter in poetry is the rhythm of the line or poem.

Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter in most of his poetry and plays because it is the meter most similar to everyday speech. This made it easier for performers to memorize and perform.

I'd say that all of these elements (Odysseus is returning to his home, Ithaca. He runs into a fierce storm. He has many adventures. He makes his way home.) are about D. heroism.
He managed to survive all of these events to return home to Ithaca.
