When the kings gathered to go to Troy he pretended to be insane to try to get out of it. It’s wrong his main concern wasn’t glory.

I am currently in eighth grade and have been assigned the task to write an essay on Odysseus as the Homeric Hero. The qualities my teacher has explained to me of a Homeric Hero are as follows: Displays strength, courage, nobility, and trust Confident with authority, articulate speaker Sharp intellect and wit used to problem solve Over time learns to temper pride with patience Thirst for glory Glory seeking can interfere with home coming Character often remains static vs dynamic I have found many examples of these traits throughout this epic poem but I am in desperate need of more. I am not asking you to write the essay for me I am just wondering if you coukd find some time to email me any specific things that happen in the book to support these qualities. My email is marshallizthebest@hotmail.com. Please email me with any info. Thank you very much, Marshall Hello, I enjoyed reading your opinions.
