Be civilized, please!

Hm… I haven't read the Illiad or the Odyssey recently, but I believe that Odysseus is both a hero and someone who is not. He has committed both bad and good deeds.

He slept with plenty of women, but wanted to get back home to his wife and child.

@Althalosian-is-the-father March 15, 2019

Does it count as being arrogant if you really are that good though/

Deleted user March 15, 2019

depends. wasn't it his arrogance that caused the cyclops to curse him, which resulted in all his crew's deaths?

True that. That was his most stupid move. But to be fair, he was blinded by rage because of the death of his friends.
