Some heroic qualities Odysseus has with the characters in my reading book #3 are his intelligence, determination, and courageous. The characters in my book "Hearts at Stake" that have these qualities similar to Odysseus are Lucy Hamilton, a mortal friend of an immortal, a vampire. She is always faced with troubles concerning herself and her soon-to-be-queen-vampire-friend. Lucy has to face other vampires who want to kidnap Solange, the soon to be vampire queen, because of her pheromones. The qualities Lucy shows are the same as Odysseus' but in a different problem. These qualities compare with my own idea of a hero, because these qualities are what i think a hero should have. Intelligence to act quick and know what to do, to not make mistakes. Determination to never give up and lose the battle of doing good. Courageous to never hesitate or think of yourself as never good. These qualities are shown in Odysseus too, when he is faced to go against the Gods and the problems along the way that cause more of his men to die. His intelligence helped him think of strategies to over-come those problems or destroy them. His determination to go back home helped make him strong-minded and have the right sense of what to do in order to get what he wants. How courageous he also is from battling monsters and creatures, losing his men, and going through problems such as his ship getting destroyed by Poseidon.
