The document discusses the concept of the hero in Greek mythology. A Greek hero is defined as a man of divine ancestry who is endowed with great courage and strength and celebrated for bold exploits. Greek heroes are known for performing superhuman feats and being involved in fantastic events often aided or hindered by magical elements. A hero must exhibit admirable qualities like courage, loyalty and fairness, though they may also have human faults. Three great Greek heroes that are mentioned are Perseus, Theseus and Hercules, and students are assigned to research and create a multimedia project about one of these legendary figures.
