    [quote="Okami-Nora, post:9779, topic:15482"] Oh, I'm not saying that any of the reasons I listed are completely reasonable in any way; only that the things I put down are Damon's personal reasons for his conflicting emotions toward Hades.

    The gods of Olympus play a large role of Greek religion, and is shown thoroughly in the epic poem and epic film. Although a similarity between the two versions is that the bright-eyed goddess Athena is in favour of Odysseus and through all her might aids him on his journey home, there is also a difference in these occurring scenes. In the poem written by Homer, Athena along with other great gods are often involving themselves with the lives of mortals, but only when in disguise. An example of this is set earlier in the poem; Athena wishes to urge depressed Prince Telemachus to search for his father, but she does so by disguising herself as an old friend named Mentes. This is in complete contrast in the film as Athena often reveals her true identity to Odysseus, although she has a choice in who can see her.…

In the comic, Daredevil seems to snap and become aggressive against allies. He is shown as depressed and enraged and using this part of the character is useful to show that he is a tragic hero. I am using this as a primary source because the comics are the original sources for Daredevil’s heroic traits and character development.…
