The concept of hero has been interpreted in many ways throughout the ages. Hero have gone from knights slaying dragons and rescuing the princess, to heroes who save the world with their supernatural-like powers, to a modern day hero who is someone who has noble qualities and is regarded as a role model. In the epic, The Odyssey, by Robert Fagles, the heroic Odysseus is a well known in Greek mythology.

A modern day hero is someone who puts their life on the line to save the lives of other innocent people.
Odysseus is a hero. In my opinion a hero is someone who fights for what they believe in and fights for others. A hero gives his life to save another person no matter what the risk. Odysseus fought for what he needed. He fought for his wife, and his child.

In the movie “The 13th Warrior”,the producers decided to portray each conflict as a group conflict, not just as Beowulf’s alone, whereas in the poem “Beowulf”, the group is almost completely ignored and Beowulf alone is seen as the sole-protagonist up until his death.
Steve Jobs, the founder of the multi-billion dollar company Apple and was the flagship leader of Apple till his death, once said “My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.” What Steve Jobs is stating is that he isn’t an easy going boss but rather pushes the people under him to work even better than they are. A leader doesn’t have to be a ruthless, cold person, or a down-to-earth relatable guy, but rather somebody who can motivate, control, and attempt to steer their crew in the right path of success and prosperity, quite in the literal sense for Odysseus.
