relies on his intelligence more than his strength. Yet, he shows extravagant arrogance in his intelligence through his journey home to Ithaca. 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.
