Is Odysseus a Good Epic Hero, or not?

        Odysseus has been a really important hero character in the Homer’s epic – The Odyssey. In the Odyssey, Odysseus is a really brave, intelligent, and clever hero. Although on his way back to his home is a perilous, he never gives up and faces every situation in front of him.

Even those that he never gives up the idea of going back to Ithaca, I still don’t think he is a really good example of an epic hero because Odysseus too easily to get fascinating by the nymph and I think a hero shouldn’t get allure by somebody else so easily. Also, I think the biggest problem that make he get back to Ithaca so late and taking so long time is because of this. If he didn’t get fascinating by Calypso for so long time, he would go back to Ithaca earlier than 20 years after.

In conclusion, although Odysseus is a really brave, intelligent, and clever hero in Homer’s epic, he is still a normal person and will get fascinating by somebody else. And that is also the reason that I think that he is not a good example of and epic hero because unlike other hero, he is a normal person, but powerful and smarter than others. However, I think a great hero shouldn’t be allure by others, especially women so easily. Because you could lost everything or even die by that.
