    Is Odysseus a hero? I feel that Odysseus‚ like any person‚ can be a hero at some times and very selfish at other times.

However‚ in books nine through twelve‚ Odysseus is definitely not playing the role of a hero among his crew. On almost any page you turn to in the book‚ you can find some act of selfishness coming from Odysseus. During his journey‚ Odysseus performs many courageous acts
