What Sort of a Man was Odysseus?

Well, according to an article in the Nov. 5, 2017, New York Times Sunday Magazine, there is little agreement on that.

The article reports on University of Pennsylvania professor Emily Wilson whose recent translation of Homer's "Odyssey" is the first by a woman. And, according to Wyatt Mason, the author of the article, Wilson renders Homer's work in a radically new voice compared with all that has gone on before -- and there have apparently been about 60 previous English language translations.
