3. I do believe that Telemachus is a hero based off of the elements of the hero's journey and within the events that happened in books I and II. Telemachus was a hero in my eyes because he was willing to leave his house to go on the quest to find his father, Odysseus. He could have stayed home at his house and lived with his family and his servants, but he was on the search for the truth. Telemachus had the choice to go or stay and live his own life without his father. He chose to find his father because he felt that that was the right thing to do. Telemachus also had the guts to stand up for his own house and his life. When the suitors were somewhat pusing Telemachus around and acting all bossy over him, just because he was a boy, Telemachus spoke up and explained that they had no right to do that. He will fight for justice and will not quit until he gets the answer that he is searching for.
4. I also do believe that Odysseus is a hero based off of the elements of the hero's journey and within the events that happened in books I and II. Odysseus was a herp to me, because Odysseus knew that he was far from home, and that he needed to go home to see his son and wife, and bring back order and honor to his throne as king. When Calyipso offers Odysseus to become immortal if he stays with her and marrys her, Odysseus refuses because he knows that that is not the right path to take in his life. Although Odysseus would like to marry Calyipso and become her husband, he refuses because he has a wife of his own, and he cannot betray her. Odysseus is also a hero because no matter what comes in his path, he keeps on fighting to get home. For Example, when Poseidon strikes Odysseus with a great big sea storm, Odysseus spends 18 days at sea, and never gives up, no matter what, because he knows that he needs to go home, and restore order. Odysseus always does what is the rightful choice, and never gives up, because he is eager to finally meet up again with his son and wife.
