Odysseus, humane?

Odysseus's return from his trek, left him mortified when he realized how many suitors came and wouldn't leave. When he returned, he had to convince pennelope that it was accually him. Pennelope held a competition that only the true Odysseus would be able to complete. When the true Odysseus completed the task at hand, he went to kill all of the suitors that have disrespected him. Modern day, that would be completely unnecessary, but at the time, it was probably more tolerated than that type of act today. I myself would banish them from my home, but if they were to refuse, then some necessary action would take place. In our opinon, all of the disrespect coming from the suitors, odysseus responded humanely for the time the story takes place. If someone like Barack Obama was in this type of situation then i dont think he would react in the same manner, probably send them out due to him being in high authority. The time period and area this takes place, affects how people see things.

epic heroes vs. modern day heroes

Both past heroes and present heroes look out for there communities they are powerful warriors ready to do anything to change the problems the community is currently facing. Heroes of today are known as leaders and warriors known to endure anything in the hope for a change to come. One day hero Derrick Tabb is a great example of a modern day hero he does the best to keep the kids of new Orleans off the streets and more focused on school he teaches the kids music notes and instruments in hope to improve their future. Epic heroes like modern heroes believe heroes to be leaders and great warriors a great example of this would be Odysseus a great warrior and king that went to war for the safety of his land although he did something’s and handled some situations in a different way than many he still did what he thought was right for his community and his family. Overall a hero is not only a good person, a good warrior and a good speaker but they are also good leaders.
