Odysseus And His Heroic Qualities;)

Odysseus. He was a fast thinking; witty guy. He was smart. He always seemed to be able to get out of even the toughest situations; much like how most of us think of when we think of heroes. He was independent; and brave. He risked his life very many times on his long journey and crazy adventures. He might be a hero in my book. He made a mark; a big enough mark to write a whole epic poem about. That's a hero in my book. He was known just about everywhere he went. BUT Odyssesus was a jerk. He put all his shipmates in danger just so he could see the Gods. He was shelfish unlike heroes today. He had no powers and it's somewhat not fair how he makes it through so many obstacles.
