In the Odyssey, Odysseus shows his superior physical strength by stringing his bow easily, which no other suitor could do, and Telemachus could barely have done.
in the poem "the odyssey," Odysseus himself trys to be clever and tells the cyclops his name is Nohbdy. so when they stabbed the cyclops' eye, the cyclops shouted nobody has done this to me! But, when Odysseus is on his way to leave the island, he gloats and says "it is i Odysseus!"
His ears are cut off with a knife then his genitals are ripped off for the dogs. Then his hands and feet are hacked off.

Before Odysseus will sleep with Circe, he makes her promise that she will not use any magic or sorcery to harm him. He demands that she swear an oath to treat him with respect and not to turn him or his men into animals, as she had done with others. This assurance is crucial for Odysseus, as he seeks to maintain his autonomy and safety while navigating the challenges he faces on his journey home.
We can see that hospitatlity is very important in the odyssey for example when Hermes visits Calypo "but first let me give you hospitality" this shows it was importanat because even the gods respected it and made sure it was done before anything else.
He did what had to be done to help his brothers to defeat the enemies!
