Odysseus or Ulysees was captured by a woman and trapped on an island on his way home from Troy to his hometown of Ithaca. The god Zeus helps him to escape. Soon, he disguises himself as a beggar to investigate the relation of his wife Penelope to her suitors. He finds out they are vying to take her as their wife (away from Odysseus) so he competes in a competition for her hand with bows and arrows. He wins the contest and then turns on the suitors and kills them, partly with his bow and arrow. After this, peace comes to Ithaca once again and Odysseus get his wife back.
Hello!
A hero can be defined as a person who puts their life on the line to save others. In The Odyssey, Ulysses takes some of his men into the cave where they later find is occupied by a one-eyed cyclops. After a confrontation in which two of his men are killed Ulysses makes a plan to kill Polyphemus. This shows his heroic characteristics. He needed to save his people. They end up shoving a hot log through his eye, and escape, after getting the cyclops drunk. As they are exiting the cave, Ulysses goes last. This shows that he put himself after all of his men to ensure their safety.
