THE “HEROES”
Heroes in Greek myth are a problematic bunch. It’s also difficult to decide who term a “hero”, as none of that are particularly heroic. Is it the guy who defeated a bunch of monsters in penance for killing his entire family in a fit of divine madness? Or the guy who kidnapped literally every woman he came across? Heroism is a notion that had a very different meaning in the ancient world and often simply meant a protector of some sort. Here you will find stories of the traditional “heroes” of Greek myth. You might also hear the men of the Trojan War defined as “heroes” but there stories are found in the series specific that war.
