Compare and contrast: At the end of the book Odysseus has to overcome and accept the fact that

he is just like Poseidon. He does that by killing every single suitor just like how Athena gave him the idea to make the Trojan horse and kill every single person living in Troy. Odysseus brutal killing side of Poseidon allowed him to believe it is fine to kill off all the suitors and the maids. This side allows him to use the Trojan Horse to destroy Troy and everyone living there. When Odysseus fights the suitors he says every man will be killed in order for the price to be paid.

Card says, Now he was the master soldier, and he was completely, utterly alone (8).
