Analyze two events where Odysseus uses his intellectual prowess over his might and share what this conveys about the concept of a hero.

In The Odyssey, by Homer, Odysseus uses his strong and fast intellect instead of his physical strength to get out of several tricky situations. We learn that during the Trojan War (detailed in The Iliad, the prequel to The Odyssey), Odysseus presented the people of the city of Troy (the enemies of the Greeks) with a large wooden horse. This Trojan Horse allowed the Greeks to sneak into the city of Troy, defeat the enemies there, and end the war that had lasted ten years.
Another example of Odysseus using his intelligence over his might is when he and his men are trapped in the cave of the giant cyclops, one-eyed Polyphemus. Almost unable to escape and about to be eaten by the giant, Odysseus offers Polyphemus a great deal of wine so that he becomes drunk, and he tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nohbody" so that when Polyphemus yells out in pain, after his eye is poked, he tells his neighbors that "Nohbody" is bothering him. In this way, Odysseus ensured that the giant neighbors of Polyphemus would not come to his aid, allowing Odysseus and his men to escape.
There are many ways to say what this might convey about the concept of a hero. This is open to interpretation. It could mean that heroes do not have to only be physically strong to be heroes. They can be intellectually strong, clever, and interested in doing the right thing, as Odysseus does, and he is arguably a heroic character.
