In this paper the Byronic Hero and its origins and legacy are the main focus. Lord George Gordon Byron was a British poet and a dominant figure in the Romantic Movement and until this day despite everything he remains widely read and famous. As an heir to a title and an estate, the aristocratic Lord Byron went on a Grand Tour, a standard venture for youthful aristocrats to see and investigate the world. On that excursion the Byronic Hero is conceived, a fantasy of his creative ability and an anticipated
The narrative would lead us to a paradox regarding the glory being acclaimed by Achilles. Are his actions or decisions he takes worthy of epic hero? Is it necessary for the epic hero to be the central protagonist? Is Hector an epic hero or a tragic protagonist? The basic definition of heroism would have you believe that it is someone who has great courage, brave, selfless

Odysseus: A Hero The classic and epic story of Odysseus and his travels, titled The Odyssey, has touched humankind since it was first told in the eighth century.
