I'm going to talk to you about the theme of myths and heroes. But before, I'll define words myth and hero.

A myth is a popular story or literary featuring super-humans beings and outstanding shares. We often find the values of a society and the structure of the human mind.

A hero is a legendary character who is ready of the extraordinary exploits.

Through these myths and heroes, there are values of society, country. These values are sometimes different in reality, the real life is more difficult that we can believe.

What's more, the value or nature of hero can vary between country, society or people. We ask, how myths and heroes have they changed our lives?

We will see that myths and heroes inspire the fundamental values.

There are three categories of myths and heroes: political influence, cultural influence and heroes of each day.
