Throughout Homer's book "The Odyssey" the ideas of loyalty and intelligence keep coming up again and again. They both show up because it takes both to get anywhere in life and especially like a journey that Odysseus went on. Without loyalty or intelligence Odysseus would have not completed his trip alive. He kept himself safe and his crew until the crew was eaten by Charybdis. Both were necessary and both were used and shown.

Loyalty was shown by Odysseus in that he was very loyal to his crew. He help them and they helped him. An example of this is when Odysseus see Elpinor at Hades and goes back to the island to burry him. He also is loyal when he goes and rescues them from Circe. He could have not buried Elpinor and he did not have to rescue his crew from Circe.
