is odysseus a hero to me

ways odysseus is a hero to me is in very little ways he was a strong man that was able to defeat some gods and a great fighter and was able to break away from great battles against many gods with out one scratch but what i don't see as a hero in him was his men all died because of him he wanted to stay in areas infested with cyclopes to see one and he did not go alone he told his greatest fighters to come along to me a hero is not one to risk others lives but a hero is someone that would throw themselves in danger to save a person even if they have no clue who they are and odysseus didn't do that it was mostly only about his decisions so i don't consider him much of a hero but he did have some heroic moments
