Odyssey National Hero of the Year

Odysseus Hero of the Year

In many different books there are hero's and heroines and for this assignment i had to choose a character from the Odyssey to endorse as a hero of the year. I endorse Odysseus because he is strong, smart, and thoughtful. In the book, Odysseus shows us that he is very strong and powerful. I think those are wonderful qualities to have if you want to be awarded a hero. Well first of all i feel that Odysseus is a very strong and powerful hero but also very kind. In the book it shows many quotes that prove he was strong and powerful. Like for example when Odysseus shoots the bow through the 12 axe heads, "Setting shafton the handgrip, drawing the notch and bowstring back, back... right from his stool, just as he sat but aimingstraight and true, he let fly- and never missing an axe from the first ax- handle clean through to the last and out the shaft with its weightened brazen head shot free!" So that proves that Odysseus was the strongest out of all the men. So I strongly think that out of all the characters from the Odyssey I feel that Odysseus is the one to get the hero of the year award and you should too!
