We’re it be a visit to the underworld or a trick against a cyclops, Odysseus is always displayed as a hero. By showing the zeal Odysseus is characterized by, Homer is displaying all that Greeks found important. Though Odysseus is not without weakness, his ignorance end up with his men being killed. He ignored how sacred the cattle of Helios were, and for it he got others needlessly massacred. Odysseus in many peoples eyes, may be a heroine, yet he is blind to his effects on others and thus, could never truly be a hero.
