Explanation:

Odysseus is the main character in the epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer. He is a hero trying to return home after the Trojan War. Odysseus encounters several dreadful obstacles on his way back because he has offended a god, Poseidon. Odysseys is a very intelligent man and, for that reason, is also quite arrogant. He enjoys the dispute with Poseidon, seeing it all as a dangerous challenge. Lucky for him, the goddess Athena is on his side, helping him out and protecting him whenever she can.

As the story progresses, Odysseus ends up losing his ship and his men. Even though he is really smart and knows how to get out of possibly fatal situations, he longs to be home with his family, which is taking quite a long time. At the end, when he finally holds his wife Penelope in his arms, he realizes he no longer values the life of a hero he has led so far. Now, after everything he's been through, all that matters to him is his family. The journey and the challenges, as well as the long time it took him to get home, have changed Odysseus.
