The real Odysseus

After all this time, we finally have met Odysseus in the flesh! We've heard countless stories about him and all the amazing things he has done and the monsters he has defeated and the people who loved him, and now here he is on Calypso's island.  So what do you think? Is he everything you expected? If not, why do you think Homer set up the story in such a way that we have grand expectations about him that aren't met when we see him? Please cite some specific lines from Book 5 to illustrate your impressions about the real Odysseus.
