I believe Odysseus is a good leader. Without Odysseus, his men would have died a while ago on their journey. For instance, without Odysseus' help his men would have all been eaten and killed by the cyclops. Odysseus is the one that helped them win the Trojan war and also saved his men a number a times. Of course he made a few mistakes by not being completely honest to his men but he is the leader and his men should have just listened to what he said. If they would have they would have all made it home alive and safe. Odysseus' men sealed there own fate by not listening to him. He specifically told his men not to kill Helios's cattle and what did they do? They ended up killing the cattle. Moments after, the storm went away and they were able to sail away. If Odysseus' men could have waited a little longer they might have been able to live to tell about the journey home and also could have been able to help Odysseus with his troubles at home. In my opinion Odysseus was a great leader because he was a warrior and intelligent. His men sealed there own fate by not following directions.
