Odysseus not only uses his admittedly muscular body, but he uses his brain. Odysseus is a master of deception (although he has yet to master his pride), and his mind is always active, thinking of new possibilities. Where other men would give up in despair, Odysseus presses on. This is what sets him apart from other Greek heroes.
