Greeks viewed heroes in a way that is different from what we view as heroes today. In the Greek myths, greeks thought that a god or goddess could be a powerful ally or a terrible foe. The Greeks believed that these beings caused everything that happened in their world. Some of the heroes in the Greek Myths were Zeus, Hera, Gray-eyed Athena, Aphrodite, Eros (who is also called Cupid), Hermes, Poseidon, and Hades.

The king of these gods, the most powerful of them all, was called Zeus. The Greeks imagined him as a tall, powerful man with long hair and a flowing beard. He was the one who judged between opposing gods, and, when he was angry, he spoke in thunder and cast lightning bolts across the sky. Hera was the wife of Zeus. But while she could be charming and kind if she was unhappy, she became bitter and spiteful. Athena and Aphrodite were two of Zeus’s daughters. Athena was the goddess of wisdom who was noble, and brave. Aphrodite was the goddess of love who was so beautiful that everyone who looked at her loved her. Eros was a rascal whose arrows caused gods and men alike to fall in love with the next person they met, no matter how much trouble it might cause. Hermes would bear the message whenever Zeus wished to send news. Poseidon was the ruler of the sea, and Hades was the grim ruler of the underworld.

The Greeks believed that many of these gods lived on a snow-capped summit called Mount Olympus, where they met from time to time in Zeus’s banquet hall to discuss the cases of men.  The Greeks also believed that the gods and goddesses sometimes came down from Mount Olympus to walk among people on earth, helping those they approved and punishing the evil. Their help might come in the form of a gift, such as powerful armor and a firm shield, or a solution to a problem. Punishment might mean turning a person into an animal to teach him a lesson or causing a storm at sea to drive a hero’s ship off its route.

All in all, some of the powerful allies could include Athena, Aphrodite, and Hermes. Some of the terrible foes could include Cupid who was the rascal. I think all of the Greeks were powerful because on page 112 it says, "Greeks also believed that the gods and goddesses sometimes came down from Mount Olympus to walk among people on earth, helping those they favored, and punishing the wicked." That means that all (or most) of the gods and goddesses were powerful and helpful, although sometimes when they got mad, they could become evil and spiteful. In conclusion, I think Greek thought that ideal heroes were people who were powerful allies or terrible foes and people that can control their surroundings with their own personal power.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
