Usually, epic heroes share common character traits such as braveness, courage, and leadership.
In Homer’s Odyssey, it is my belief that Odysseus is a hero because he demonstrated leadership qualities by leading his group to fight the suitors by being disguised as a beggar so that nobody would suspect him as being Odysseus. For example he fought the suitors, the three headed monsters, and a giant. Some people might say that he did not exhibit loyalty because he stayed on the island with Calypso for so long. However Zeus forced Calypso to let him leave and he returned to Ithaca and his wife which shows loyalty.
