A demi-god who is synonymous with superhuman strength who earned his immortality through a series of twelve deadly labors/trials. Then there is perhaps the most iconic heroic figure of all Greek mythology, the star of hundreds of myths, Heracles. We still talk about “Achilles heel” when it comes to recognizing a point of weakness in ourselves.
A demigod who only had one weakness his heel. Who could forget Achilles? The protagonist of Homer’s Iliad was one of the greatest warriors of his time. Sentenced to remain chained on a rock while an eagle picks and eats his liver for eternity. There is for example Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods and gave it to the mortals on earth. Greek Mythology is filled with widely known heroic figures.
