Can you recommend me a book in which the protagonist is a paragon of virtue and the main story is pretty tragic? For example something similar to El Cid

For Whom the Bell Tolls
>>8817140
The Book of Job (in the Bible)
Odyssey
>>8817140
the once and future king
>>8817140
The Brothers Karamazov

Isn't Odysseus kind of a cunt? I haven't read it.
>>8817186
Are translations any good?

He even gave up on immortality with Calipso to return to Penelope

Odysseus is a lot more than a paragon of virtue or a massive cunt, he kinda falls in the middle, he has some cunty qualities but he's also very admirable in other ways

The newest one is pretty sweet.
Also Oedipus Tyrannosaurus.
