It is important to mention though that when Odysseus leaves the island of the Cyclopes he finally reveals his true identity, which was a drastic mistake because it pater brought him in trouble. Although mindful, his pride splurged him to boost out his achievement. Nevertheless, I am still very admiratif of his heroic traits.
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost but the urge to serve others at whatever cost. ~ Arthur Ashe

With the Greeks, the various heroes can serve as such great mirrors of one's personality - tell me who your idol is, I'll tell you who you are.
I mean a Theseus-guy is definitely not going to be the same as a Hercules-chum, let alone a Jason-fella.

Great discussion of the Greek Odysseus and the Roman Aeneas, and how each hero represents the heroic ideals of their respective countries.
