Write a paragraph that evaluates odysseus’s qualifications as an epic hero.

answer: odysseus, was not the strong warrior aiming to die on the battlefield, but instead a man who pursued as his goal only his own survival. this makes him very different from the prominent heroes: hector, achilles and agamemnon.

explanation: he possed characteristics such as: intelligence, audacity, ingenuity and perseverance; but he also had characteristics that keep it from being considered as a hero. for example he was a liar, cheater, who did not resort to force but to intelligence, to use it to his advantage against men and things, even gods. he was considered a trickster, somehow cowardly and arrogant.
