Even though Circe told that foolish man to not go near those monsters he does anyway. Whether it was because of his pride or his not fearing his death he put our lives on the table yet again for his gain. But personally, I think he didn't want to go in the first place he had to go home. But anyway we set sail in the morning for the great sea. Being caught between Scylla and Charybdis means being caught in an extremely challenging situation. There is no good way to get through the situation, and any choice one makes will engender losses. Scylla and Charybdis: Odysseus chooses to sail for Scylla, a six-headed sea serpent, rather than Charybdis, a giant whirlpool. He did this because he knew that if he went to Charybdis, the whole ship would be destroyed. However, if he went towards Scylla, six men would die. While we were sailing, Odysseus ordered us to avoid Charybdis forcing us to pass near Scylla, which resulted in the deaths of six of our men. When Odysseus ordered us to tie him up we were all scared for our future, Because who would lead us home to see our wives, children, and the great city again? "Some of these obstacles are simply unpleasant: Odysseus would rather avoid Scylla and Charybdis altogether, but he cannot. They stand in his way, leaving him no choice but to navigate a path through them." This quote portrays Odysseus as a man with bravery because "he willingly wanted to listen to the Siren's song to understand how it sounds like and what it will do to one". He also showed bravery when he wanted to suit up with armor and weapons, so he can kill Scylla.

We weren't afraid of Circe because she was a beautiful young-looking woman who looked harmless and once she agrees not to play any more tricks on Odysseus and his men, Circe turns out to be the ideal host. In fact, too ideal for any guest who wants to eventually leave. To see my people turned into pigs was honestly scary. It was difficult because I was like, am I next? will she turn me into one of her puppets? I feel that Odysseus will kill us all one day because of his arrogance. but still, have respect for him because he is respectable and a good leader. I feel that I shouldn't have to stay in a place because of somebody who wants to satisfy his needs but doesn't care about his own men whom he swore to protect. if you care to watch the video on the story here is a link.

I am scared of dying but I have sworn to the sword that I would fight for my country and the great Odysseus till I take a breath and go onward and follow orders. Odysseus thinks seriously about killing the monster, even feeling for the place in his chest where he might stab him. But the problem is obvious: That would leave them trapped in the cave. He and his men prepare a sharp stake, rolling an olive log in the fire to sharpen it. The cyclops quickly smashed into the heads of two of the men and devoured them. Odysseus knew the giant cyclops possessed great strength, greater than he was able to battle. Odysseus and the remainder of his men survived the night in the cave with the cyclops. I think Odysseus will save as many of us as he can but be angry with himself if he can't save us all.

Yes, he is a good leader because he uses his smarts and thinks of his people. My name is Nobody: mother, father, and friends, everyone calls me Nobody. This quote illustrates Odysseus being a good leader by using his cleverness and not telling Polyphemus his real name to protect his men and himself. (lines 418-426) Odysseus tried to devise a way to get his men and himself out of Polyphemus’ cave. This quote displays Odysseus’ cleverness when he comes up with the idea to get his men and himself out of Polyphemus’ cave. This quote is significant because Odysseus shows another trait, cleverness, that a good leader has.

Odysseus is considered an epic hero for his role as King of Ithaca, his participation in the war, and his journey home. Odysseus has the defining character traits of a Homeric leader: strength, courage, nobility, a thirst for glory, and confidence in his authority. His most distinguishing trait, however, is his sharp intellect. Even though we didn't talk about this part I already knew that Odysseus is undoubtedly a hero because he saves many of his men from the cyclops, rescues his men from Circe, and ventures into the House of Death alone. Odysseus in The Odyssey by Homer is a hero because he saved many of his men from the cyclops, Polyphemus.
