The heroes of Greek mythology lie between the world of gods and men. These are forms of extraordinary abilities, often born of divine and human origin, that stood out for their accomplishments, trials, and tragic fates. Heroes' stories reflect human values such as courage, honor, hybris, and punishment. Many heroes were worshiped after their death, gaining a special place in the religious life of cities. Through the ancient secretariat, epics and dramas, heroes became standards and warnings about the boundaries of human power.
«Έστειλαν άνδρες στη μάχη, αλλά κανένας από αυτούς δεν επέστρεψε· και στο σπίτι, για να τους υποδεχτούν, έρχονται στάχτες μέσα σε μια τεφροδόχο»
— Aid, «Agamemnon»
