Odysseus Is A Good Leader

I beleive odysseus is a very good leader and its his men holding him back from returning home sooner then he could have. When Odysseus goes to the underworld to speak with Tireases, He tells him not to harm the cattle of helios. When they get to the island, a bad storm hits for a month and all their food is ruined by the rain. While Odysseus is asleep, his hungry men kill one cattle and eat it. Helios is very angry and curses them. I think Odysseus' men should have never disobeyed him. I also beleive that his men are half the reason that it is taking them so long to get home. His men should just trust and beleive what Odysseus says because he is still their king no matter where they are or how bad they dont like his rules. He outsmarts the cyclops, while any other leader would have just killed him when the cyclops first came home. Then they would have rotted away in the cyclops cave. Odysseus also did everything he can to keep his men alive as long as they did, his men shouldnt have lived any longer then they did. Odysseus men didnt listen to him and I beleive thats what they get for disobeying their king. Odyssues is brave, strong, and very wise. He is everything thing a good leader should be and more.
