The Odyssey

Q: Is Odysseus someone who would be admired by young people today?

A: Odysseus was prized and admired for his cleverness, skills in trickery and strategy in war. Obviously these wonderful descriptions attract anyone who hears them but what really matters is what's inside him and the way he communicates with others. Although he is great and really wants to get home to see his family and rescue his beloved Penelope, clearly we can see that he had ''cheated'' on her. He didn't communicate the way he should've done it with his crew. Why didn’t he tell them what was inside the bag? Well, everything has its own consequences. Instead of getting home soon, they went back again. So in conclusion, I think he in some way he is someone who should be admired but at the same time no.
