measured by physical ability or intellectual
achievement; however, it may also be measured by

Cold Hearted Peoples Lives

Odysseus Is Not A Hero A hero is a man noted for
his special achievements according to the
dictionary, but if you ask most people what a hero
is, you will get the same general response. They
will probably say someone who does something for
other people out of the goodness of his heart.
Odysseus, who is the main character of the book
The Odyssey written by Homer, would fit the
dictionary's definition of a hero; but if you go
deeper, looking at what people feel a hero is, he
