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.
