Question

What conclusions can be drawn about odysseus as both a leader and a man

Answer 1

You can say that Odysseus is a good solider, who  respect his peers. More specifically, he stands out as the cleverest of the Achaean's or Greeks. He (along with Nestor) is the best speaker, and so he is able to convince people. For example, in the Iliad,  he is able to mediate between Agamemnon and Achilles. In fact, he is the only one who is able to do this. In addition,  according to tradition, he is the one who created the artifice of the Trojan horse, which shows again that he is clever.
