The readers get no internal conflict – only the problems that face him without.
When reading the poem, it is merely the events that occur AROUND Odysseus – not INSIDE him.
Think “The Last Temptation of Christ” versus “The Passion of The Christ”.

From a third person’s perspective. We view Odysseus through the eyes of no one in the story.

I think it means that you observe him as an action-figure without learning anything about his character, thoughts or feelings.
