Variations in the portraiture of a mythical figure by W. B. STANFORD, Regius Professor of Greek in the University of Dublin 1: The Hero

In the later tradition Shakespeare and many other writers allowed him to retain some of his heroic qualities. Yet Homer's Ulysses was in some ways a distinctly unconventional hero.
