A Hero's Adventure
The term "hero" comes from Greek mythology, where the child is the result of the union between a human and a god or goddess. Superhuman characteristics and exceptional feats of bravery, strength, and military endeavor frequently display a hero, so the term "hero" means anyone displaying exceptional traits. A hero in literature goes through a long journey or many events and in the end saves someone or accomplishes something. A hero always stays alive because that person has to complete a task or duty in the end. There are many differences and similarities between heroes of the past and present. Heroes exist everywhere, in the past, present, and future.
Heroes existed in the past, and one of the best heroes of all time was Odysseus from Homer's The Odyssey. "A man, one who was never at a loss," from Homer's The Odyssey. Odysseus was a man who was witty and sly and always managed to get himself out of danger.
