As in the story when he escapes from Cyclops cave he showed that he was brave and a great strategist when he poked Cyclops eye with pike of olive, he decided not to kill him because if he killed Cyclops, he would not be able to get out of the cave. This also shows he was wise and cleaver and able to think about the situation before doing anything. At the time when Cyclopes is making the meal of his friend he bravely said “Here is some drinks for you which we carry” (9 ;). These are some qualities which I can say I possess. His impulsiveness with Cyclops almost destroyed him and his companions but his bravery and clever strategy were able to save almost all of them.
I think that the idea that he does not deserve his reputation is solely for argument, because some people love the feeling of making other people angry. So Alexander made some mistakes and maybe he killed people, just because he had the authority, but no one is perfect and you can’t argue that he does not deserve this title because he made these mistakes. Every human person has made mistakes because no one human has any faults in their history. If you look at other great leaders, they all had a weakness and eventually led to their downfall, but just because they had weaknesses does not mean that they should not be honored for their accomplishments. I think that ‘defaming’ Alexander the Great does not prove the ‘no’ side in any way, because he did many things to help his empire and even though he was the cause of many deaths to the native people of their homelands, he did what he thought was best for his people.
He is a leader of men by he encouraged his men to stay strong even though the times were tough. He is concern for his men by rescuing them from the Circe who turned them into swine.

Also, he puts his crew in jeopardy when he boasting how he tricked Polyphemus.
The main reason that people were demoted to inferiors was because they were cowardly in battle. This could be seen as cruel to be made an inferior because they were cowardly but it was like this because the Spartans wanted to be the greatest state in the known world and it could only do this by having the best armies, so it had not time for the cowards. The Gerousia also made a law that meant that they raged war on the helot. This was cruel but effective. The helots outnumbered the Spartans more than 10 to 1 so the Spartans had to be cruel to stop them uprising.
This was, in my opinion, the event that officially qualifies him as a traitor; the fact that he disobeyed the government whenever he pleased. In conclusion, Nathaniel Bacon was a traitor. He purposely disobeyed the laws, did what ever he pleased because he knew there would be no repercussions, and he rallied up his own mini rebel army. He had good reasoning for things that he did but he did not think things though very well and he was very physical about problems. This is historically significant because he may have been the only one who would have fought against the government so diligently.
In this way people the chances of people challenging Big Brother are lessened. • “To die hating them, that was freedom.” Book 3, Chapter IV Page 281.

Okonkwo was one of the strongest and most respected men in his society.

That is why there is so much confusion around this topic being the fact that Claudius was a horrible person, but was actually a very good king, because he possessed the abilities that are needed to succeed in such a setting. Like for example why would he kill his own brother, just so that he could have the thorn, like is it that important to him, just to have a little bit of power, that he would have already had if it wasn’t for his brother. The worst part is that he was probably a better king then his
