Stories Odysseus plays a part in

Odysseus was a leader in the Trojan war and he and his men helped win a great victory. He was captured by the huge cyclops Polyphemes and he tricked him and escaped. He outwitted the evil soccerice Circe be eating magic leaves. He had to go to the land of the dead and consult a dead wise man and he survived. He listened to the sirens because its suppose to make you smarter afterward. After all that he has been through he still survived and got back to home land.

What Odysseus represents

    I think that Odysseus represents Individualism because he does not give enough information to his men and he just does his own thing by himself. Non of his men do his thing with him. I also think that Odysseus represents individualism because he does not listen to his men.
    I think that Odysseus represents Rationalism also because he thinks things through logicaly and then he does it safely and correctly and he always survives. I can't speak for his men.   

Acomplishments Odysseus had

    Odysseus had many acomplishments acording to greek mythology. Here are some of his acomplishments... 

    Odysseus defeated/tricked Polyphemes the evil cyclops. Odysseus also heard the sirens songs and he lived to tell the tale. Odysseus landed on the island of Lastogoians and he a ship of his men got away. Odysseus destroyed Troy. He lived after he went past Scylla and Charibdies. He survived a grudge from Poseidon. He was the only one of his men that made it back to his home land of Ithica but I think that his best feat was going to the land of the dead and living.
    
    Those are his great feats.
