Question

He also demonstrates acute emotional intelligence and a strong command of disguise and rhetoric—capable of masking his identity, convincing friends and foes, and engaging in protracted games of patience (as when he returns to Ithaca incognito as a beggar to appraise the situation before revealing himself). His rapport with the gods, particularly Athena, demonstrates his capacity to elicit divine favor through devotion and ingenuity, while his refusal to give in under severe hardship highlights a heroic resilience of mind as well as body. At the same time, his frequent recourse to deception and occasional ruthlessness introduce moral ambiguity, making him not only admirable but also deeply human—a flawed hero whose victories come at a real ethical price.
