Best Answer

He is considered a hero because he fought in the Trojan War and came up with the plan of using the Trojan horse, with the help of Athena.

He also finally made it home to Ithaca after a very hard difficult journey from the Trojan War.

He killed his wife's suitors and finally got to see his son, Telemachu, that he left when he was just a baby to go fight in the Trojan War.

He killed and fought his way through the wrath of Poseidon to get home to the ones he loved and that is why he is an epic hero.
