Different Kinds of Heroes

The two myths I have read and started to read were the stories of Theseus and the beginning of Hercules. Theseus was a great hero who was selfless, smart and thoughtful, while on the other hand Hercules was more full of himself, thick and all brawn. Both of them were admired and praised, mostly Hercules in all of Greece and Theseus in only Athens. I think the contrast betweent the two and their differences show that not all "heros" or gods are from the same cookie cutter they can have different personalities and strengths. This goes for us too, we can all have different personalities and strengths and still be good people. Who knew that myths would teach us life lessons?
