He has all the characteristics of a leader like strength, courage and nobility.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • He uses his strength and treats him harshly. After leaving Troy, they raid the island of Cicones for valuables.
  • The Cicones attack Odysseus and his men. In the struggle Odysseus lost many of his men.
  • Odysseus sends his men in search of food. They find a Cyclops cave. They were attracted by the cheese and wine and enter inside the cave. The Cyclops trap them inside the cave. Slowly they blind the Cyclops and escape.
