Answer:
The hero of legend Odysseus is an epic hero because he embodies many of the traits of an epic hero, such as being a fearless commander. "Yet she urged that I alone should listen to their song. Therefore, you are to tie me up, tight as a splint, /erect along the mast, lashed to the mast, /and if I shout and beg to be untied, /take more turns of the rope to muffle me. /I would rather be dwelt on this part of the forecast, /while our good ship made time, bound outward down the wind for the strange island of Sirens "(Homer 23–31). Because he guides his men over treacherous seas, Odysseus might be considered heroic. He is never afraid to take on a challenge or accomplish a job.
