    Another strong quality Odysseus possessed was being a great speaker so he was able to manipulate people with his words. For example when Odysseus washed ashore on a strange island where he felt lost . Odysseus quickly adapted to his surrounding and when Odysseus saw the young women he used his suave abaility to get clothes and food. Odysseus being such a great speaker when he was on the island of Scheria he was able to get Nausicca to trust him. His speaking ablity contributed to role as a hero because in my opinion as a hero you have to be able to convince people to trust you to lead them to greatness, just simply through speech.
    ‍‍‍A hero is one who can take the lead and in times when things get hard he or she will not buckle under pressure. A hero can be measured many different ways but if he or she is faced with an obstacle the task at the end will get completed. Odysseus did keep to his word and the out come he did reach home because a hero is always determined. Odysseus having these phenomenal qualities of being cunning, judgement kept him out of life ending situations. These qualities not only assisted him but they elevated his eloquence.

    an innocent life. Othello was decieved by a a sneaky conniving man named Largo. Lago was great at manipulating Othello, Cassio, and Rodregio because in their eye's he was precieved to be a great friend. Lago gained their trust one day only to satisfy his own urges for Desdemona.

    The strongest quality that Odysseus displayed to show why he was a hero, was his ability to have great judgement. Though Odysseus knew all the men that went on this journey with him would not make it back to Ithaca, he kept their spirits high at all times. After they made it out of a couple near death experiences at times he always said men were going home to our wives and children. Also by having great judgement this helped Odysseus ego and made him fearless. Any average man would have probably given up and said Im never going to make it home. Odysseus on the other hand fought through everything, Posiden threw his way and was determine to make it home. By Odysseus possessing these qualities of fearlessness, strength, and cunning ability, the biggest challenege was facing his wife and son after twenty years and not being with them as Odysseus but as a begger. This in my opinion made Odysseus have a strong lack of emotion, and more built up anger inside. Odysseus lack of emotion strengthed him to be a better hero.

    Odysseus heroic qualities that played a major factor was his strength and his intellegence. For example, when Odysseus was triumph over the Cyclop, Odysseus physically could not beat the Cyclops. So Odysseus used his intellegence to his advantage, and told his men to get under the sheep so they can ride him and his men out of the cave. Also, Odysseus showed his strength when he returned to Ithaca and entered the contest and he was the only man to string the bow besides his son. Another case Odysseus showed his cunning ability was when he pretended to be a bagger and he fooled everyone including his own family.
    In my opinion being a hero is always a great quality a individual can have, but in Odysseus case it takes a lot of heart due to the fact that he patiently waited for the right time to take back whats was rightfully his.
