For that matter, Odysseus himself might have borrowed a trick or two from the rabbit hero, for he is very old and was never at a loss for a trick to deceive his enemies.
In Richard Adams' "Watership Down," the cunning nature of Odysseus is likened to that of a clever rabbit, suggesting that both characters are skilled in the art of deception. Odysseus, a legendary hero from Greek mythology, is renowned for his intelligence and ability to outsmart his foes, which parallels the resourcefulness displayed by the rabbits in their struggles for survival.
This comparison underscores the theme of ingenuity as a vital trait for overcoming obstacles. Just as Odysseus often relied on clever strategies to navigate challenges, the rabbits also employ their wits to escape dangers, highlighting the timeless nature of cleverness in both human and animal worlds.
