Myths and heroes Introduction:

Today I am going to present the notion of “myths and heroes”. To begin with this notion, it seems important to define the terms of the notion. A myth can be defined as a story about heroes and gods. It’s generally an old story carried from generations to generations about unreal events from the past, often lead by a hero. Precisely, heroes are men and women who help or inspire others. Some are ordinary like firemen who risked their life everyday and some are not. They have many qualities in order to make the world better everyday.
