Ever heard the story of Odysseus? He is one of the most recognizable epic heroes in Greek Mythology. An epic hero is someone who possesses strength, courage and desires to achieve immortality through heroic actions. Take Theseus for example. He shows his strength when he preferred to go through the dangerous road rather than the safe sea. He was also well known for being wise and almost everyone wanted him for their expeditions and proved his courage when he faced the Minotaur in the Labyrinth. Of course being a mortal he had weaknesses and made mistakes.
Theseus showed his strength and intelligence when he travels to Athens. Aethra (Theseus' mother) begged him to go through sea which was safer than the road which was overrun
