When comparing Odysseus and Achilles there are different places you can go to find information, but the best places to look are in Homer’s two epic poems known as “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey” or the great action picture of Troy and The Odyssey. They tell you a lot about the two in different ways.

Odysseus and Achilles are more indistinguishable than they are extraordinary. The two men appear to be standard men. Both converse with the divine beings, and are mortal men. The two men are likewise depicted as solid. They have likewise demonstrated that they look after their "group" or their men that remain close by. Odysseus and Achilles cry when of their men is dead or hurt. With their likeness in empathy, they both demonstrate a feeling of obligation. There was a feeling of overwhelming obligation with a demise of one of their men, so each man was eager to utilize viciousness to strike back for the passing of their men. Odysseus in any case, seemed to manage his men more than Achilles. Odysseus managed his men, for instance, supporting them mind blowing sustenance and wine, and giving them bearing all through their battles. Achilles showed up, all things considered, to be more about each man for himself. Odysseus utilized his cunning to get past fights. He was a fast scholar, vital, tolerant, and solid. Achilles was solid as well, however utilized physical protective layer to traverse fights, for example, a sword, and body reinforcement. 

Odysseus is the all the more fulfilling saint. Albeit the two men were extremely solid and evident pioneers, Odysseus indicated more empathy via tending to his men. Having characteristics, for example, tolerance and intelligence, demonstrates that Odysseus is all the more "balanced" and best fit for a legend. He made a special effort to watch over his men, despite the fact that he knew they weren't the brightest group, regardless he did all that he could to spare however many men as could reasonably be expected. A case of this would be the point at which they experienced the cyclops. He rushed to think about an answer for get himself out of there, as well as his men also. He tuned in and ceased their excursion to give them a chance to eat and rest when they expected to. He gave nourishment and beverages, and let them devour.

        Looking backing at both of the men I find that Odysseus is the better of the two legends since he isn't only a devoted and vigorous pioneer anyway he similarly has the brains to guarantee his group as much as basic. Achilles is a strong and to some degree dedicated man yet as for being a holy person, he is too much narcissistic. On the off chance that I some way or another happened to pick a gathering to be on in battle I would pick Odysseus since I understand that he would have me and the straggling leftovers of the troopers as an essential concern when stumbling over a battle. Achilles would be an extraordinary and engaging pioneer yet when a battle comes he will simply think about himself and his own particular mental self-portrait.
