Odysseus vs. Achilles Essays - Greek Mythology,

Odysseus vs. Achilles Achilles and Odysseus are two of the greatest warriors for many reasons. Odysseus is described as a warrior for his bravery, determination, and for his quick skills that ended the Trojan War after ten years. Achilles is warrior because he skilled on the battlefield. He is also fierce. He fought in the war even though he was warned that his life would be taken if he entered the war. The fact that Achilles choose death so he can die with a glorious name. Both warriors are similar with their heroic acts for example, they go through trails that through that they became true warriors. It is a little different when it comes to qualities between the two. Odysseus is different than Achilles because through trails, Odysseus is more careful with his choices. His number one priority was to make it home with safety and caution about his men's safety also. Achilles was also worried about the safety of his men but he was not as smart as Odysseus because he did not think of the outcomes like Odysseus did and Achilles always looked for revenge. Odysseus warned his men with every choice and step they took and his determination to return home with safety and protection of his men is a heroic quality. In my opinion, Odysseus is the better warrior since he is the one that makes good choices and he stops to think about every decision he makes which is a very clever thing to do. He is motivated by positive reasons. Achilles is more concerned and motivated in his revenge acts. Achilles accepts the fact that he will die, on the other hand, Odysseus does not give up and he says he is going to die. Achilles was favored by the gods, while Odysseus was hated by the gods and did not want him to get home so easily. Odysseus moves quicker with actions and his main goal is to get home which makes the two different.
