I'm not sure Greek myths are great sources of ethical behaviour given, you know, all the rape, incest, bestiality, cannibalism and more.
Quite a lot of Greek myths, when not stripped down to the "simplified for story-telling to kids" versions, are straight-up case studies / moral lessons to adults.
I'd never look at the Odyssey and mistake it as something to emulate. That people do is kind of surprising.
If you have to go back to the time of the writing of the Odyssey to justify for your behavior, you're probably doing something wrong.
