I think in a lot of ways Scully actually is the hero of the show. She often narrates the episodes, and the show even starts when she is assigned to the X-Files, while Mulder has apparently already been pursuing them for several years. Mulder learns more and more about the "truth", but he is always after what he's after. The story arc is that of Scully, from green agent, to somewhat believer, to mother, etc. Obviously, it's all academic, as the show needed both characters to succeed, but I think the Mulder/Odysseus comparison is not really correct.
