Throughout The Odyssey, there have been many different examples of how cunning wins over strength. One example is when Odysseus fought the suitors. Odysseus used his cunning side to leave the suitors trapped and vulnerable. Even though the suitors would have had way more power than Odysseus, Odysseus still won. Another example was when Odysseus fought the monsters. He blinded the Cyclops, Polyphemus, to get out of the cave. Odysseus used his smart side to hatch a plan to get out and get a reprieve from the monster's hands. Cunning wins over strength too, when Odysseus fought against the gods or the "magical" people. Odysseus beat Circe by making her swear to not do anything to him [during] his stay. He also told Circe to pledge to free his fellow sailors. Those are some of the many ways cunning wins over strength in the Odyssey.
