How, once again, does odysseus reveal his character through his decisions and actions?

When he decides to stay on the island with the goddess it shows how weak he is

1) how he out smarts Polyphemus

2) how he wins the war

3) how he refuses to eat the sacred cattle and is there for the only one who survives a shipwreck

4) how he outsmarts Circe

5) how he fools the twenty nobles into thinking he is an old beggar
