Odysseus is an ancient Greek hero who helped take down and sack the city of Troy. As he faces his journey back, he is met with obstacles which are very inconvenient. Odysseus is portrayed as a sort of "king among kings"but with very bad luck. His qualities range from strong and heroic to wise and good decision maker. Despite his strengths and wits, the one most hardheaded decision he made was yelling at the dumb cyclops, and revealing his true identity, This made Polyphemus, the Cyclops, curse Odysseus and his crew which made his journey back a nightmare for him and his crew. So it is evident that Odysseus's biggest flaw is being unable to suppress his anger. If it was not for his anger, his troubles could have been prevented.
