A True Hero
What is the definition of a true hero? Many people have been considered heroes for many different reasons. Both Hercules and Beowulf have both been regarded as heroes. Beowulf was a great warrior who lived in the time of the Vikings. Beowulf traveled the face of the earth fighting monsters and beasts in search of money and fame. Hercules was also a great warrior but he lived during the time of the Greek gods. Hercules was born a god but he was stolen as an infant and
turned into a mortal by his fathers nemesis, Hades. Hercules retained his godlike strength and now he must prove himself a hero. This is the only way he would be able to reunite with his family of gods. In the Disney animated film "Hercules" the character is a far greater hero than the character Beowulf from the epic poem "Beowulf" because he had more of a desire to be a hero, he fought his battles with better motives, and he had stronger friendships in his companions.
