(Homer Line 205) He is showing bravery here because he is taking uncommon routes just because of Zeus. Wisdom + Intelligence: "'My ship?

Bravery: "If they make fun of me in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up your springing heart, no matter what I suffer, no matter if they pull me by the heels or practice shots at me, to drive me out". (Homer Line 1125)
