Odysseus

"[Odysseus was] tough, crafty, cheerful, of medium height, eloquent, and wise."

"[He was] shorter in truth by a head than Atreus’ son Agamemnon, / but broader, it would seem, in the chest and across the shoulders /... / Truly, to some deep-fleeced ram would I liken him / who makes his way through the great mass of the shining sheep-flocks."

"In parts of their careers, Arjuna and Odysseus show similarities so numerous and detailed that they must be cognate figures, sharing an origin in the proto-hero of an oral proto-narrative."
