Romain Rolland once said: “A hero is a man who does what he can. » Heroes do not need to be physically strong or possess magical powers. True heroes are those who are able to do their best for the good of others. No matter the circumstances, they will continue to try as if nothing is impossible. The ideals of heroism have changed over time, but they still share one thing in common: a hero is one who can make the impossible possible. Similarly, Homer's epic poem The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus' long journey home as he faces many adversities along the way. However, he is able to overcome these obstacles using his intelligence, great leadership and loyalty. As a result, he can return to Ithaca. These traits speak to his ability to be a true hero. In Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus proves himself to be a hero with intelligence, leadership, and loyalty, revealing the possible theme that says: what makes a man a hero is his selfless actions for the many others, to make the impossible possible. himself. » Ulysses' heroism is manifested through his intelligence. In lines 118, Odysseus responds to Calypso that he “longs for home, longs for the sight of home.” This line shows how Odysseus cleverly tricks Calypso into believing that he does not want to be with his wife as much as he wants to be with her, but that he longs for his homeland, where his heart and soul rest. Through this action, readers can assume that Odysseus is an intelligent man who can get out of danger without getting hurt. Another example of his intelligence is shown in lines 356-360, when he states: "Cyclops, you ask my honorable name?" Remember the gift you promised me, and ...... middle of paper ...... makes the impossible no longer impossible. Based on the evidence, a message from this epic poem could be: “Perfection does not make a hero. What makes him a hero is where his heart truly lies and the actions he selflessly took for the sake of others. While the poem reveals Odysseus' foolish and stubborn action, it also shows Odysseus' ability to overcome his weaknesses through his dedication as a leader and his intelligence. These qualities manifest through every risky action he takes to save his men and his country. The poem reminds readers how society has been all these years. It is always full of unknown dangers and temptations that can only lead to despair. Yet, somewhere out there, a hero is in action. He tries, with all his strength and all his possibilities, to sketch a glimmer of hope and to get everyone out of this dark and lamentable world...
