Odysseus was a legendary hero in Greek mythology, king of the island of Ithaca and the main protagonist of Homer's epic, the “Odyssey.” Throughout the epic, he displayed his heroic traits and proved why he was considered so smart with his suave speaking. One of Three prime examples of his heroic characteristics was when he flaunted his intelligence when he tricked Polyphemus into thinking his "name is Nohbdy... everyone calls me Nohbdy." (Homer lines 315-316) The second example would be when he displayed his courageousness when he traveled to Hades to "consult the blind prophet Tiresias." (Homer Land of the Dead Description) The Third example of Odysseus' heroic intellect was when he bided his time when he arrived home and waited until he found the perfect chance to slay the suitors that overran his home.
