Odysseus meets the criteria of an epic hero because he surpasses Zeus’s punishment with having superior strength, defeats cyclops with intelligence, and braveness when facing Charybdis as well as Scylla. A characteristic that defines Odysseus as an epic hero is his intelligence.

The scylla has six heads with three rows of fangs with deep gullets of black death (678 ll.685-687). The great Scylla has a cry of a newborn puppy even though she’s huge and monstrous.

myths, Scylla used to be a beautiful virgin, but fell in love with Glacus, who already had a lover, Circe.

Odysseus is not a hero because he expresses pridefulness in his intelligence, sacrifices six of his men to Scylla, and willingly stays under the control of Circe. Throughout the Odyssey, Odysseus shows that he is prideful of his intelligence, which alludes to the fact that he is narcissistic. One example that shows his pridefulness is when he reveals his true

his plans are still of good quality and they seem successful and not poorly thought out. Odysseus wouldn’t be called the man of many wiles if he wasn’t intelligent.
