Some of the greatest people wouldn't have the courage to do something without someone guiding them. That's the same way with The Odyssey in that Odyssey got help from many people along the way that if he didn't have them he wouldn't messed up. Some of the people who guided him along the way include the following people. Athena who guided him through the Cyclops where he prayed to Athena "I pondered how to hurt him worst, but if Athena granted what I prayed for." (Homer line 263-265), and that night the sheep came in when the previous nights they hadn't. Another mentor would include Circe and Tiresseus/Tyrone. Circe helped him get passed the sea monsters, Scylla and Charybdis, to only get rid of a few men rather than all of them. Tiresseus helped Odysseus by telling him the struggles that's going to happen to him soon.

Odysseus shows many good characteristic traits throughout the story, some include the following: Bravery, intelligence, and leadership. Some ways he has used his intelligence is in the cyclops episode. He uses "three bowls I brought him, and he poured down. I saw the fuddle and flush come over him' then I sang out in cordial tones," (Homer lines 310-312). then he tells Polyphemus his "...name is Nohbdy," (Homer line 315). He also has some great leadership in the scylla and charybdis episode. He "...walked up and down from bow to stern, trying to put some heart into them, standing over every oarsman," (Homer lines 763-764). Again one of his heroic traits is bravery which can be seen in The Sirens. He has his men tie him to "...the mast, and if I shout and beg to be untied, take more turns of the rope to muffle me," (Homer lines 696-698). In all of the episodes, he always proves to us that he can do what he needs to do when the time is right.
