What makes a hero? A hero can be born into greatness and lead an ordinary life. A hero can achieve and glory in greatness and bring a noble death to his name. What transforms an individual into the characteristic of a “hero” will depend on the journey they have undertaken. From ancient Greek culture, the concept of a hero was constructed from the idolatry of a religious figure, a deceased person who received cult honors and was expected to return home bringing prosperity in the form of plants or animals, from his people. The narrative of our literary heroes is about a person who is mortal, unlike the Gods, and must endure the struggles of fear of death on the journey to achieve glory and create peace in their world. A hero is supported by other characters, but ultimately fights alone against evil. A hero's origin is simply the basis for leaving an everlasting impression on the world. Destiny, fate, and even magic play key roles in helping guide these heroes on their quest, but ultimately it's their wits, their brains, or their brawn that helps them. to defeat the enemy. From the Epic of Gilgamesh, the hero is destined to embark on a journey to discover his true identity, and in this tale it is the character of Gilgamesh who begins his personal quest to find eternal life to save his dear friend Enkidu. Gilgamesh is gifted with extraordinary strength and size, almost teetering on the description of "supernatural" due to his two-thirds God and one-third human heritage. These attributes would be considered out of the ordinary, almost unnatural for a mere hero. However, the epic does not only focus on physical traits because Gilgamesh would not be perceived as a typical hero in the standard Babylonian version of the epic. Gilgame...... middle of paper...... story of heroic adventures for centuries. In conclusion, there is no indifference towards the form we take or the life we ​​lead but towards what we do with what we have been given. Every story has a hero, no matter how insignificant or minor they may seem, and every individual doesn't need extra powers to make a difference in someone's life than those who can affect tens, hundreds, even thousands of people. A person is given the title of "hero" in the same way that any other person must earn respect. Our stories shape our character and lead us to become influential people despite our origin. A hero can be anyone and can come from anywhere. Our literary figures today face their struggles and emerge victorious, which makes them the ideal warriors to model and aspire to become. A hero's origin is simply the foundation for making a lasting impression on the world.
