Heroes


                                                                                                           

Ancient heroes from the mythology stories such as The Odyssey by Homer are described as bold, noble, people. They have some sort of super-natural strength, or power. They usually go on a long, epic journey. They overcome the problems that get in their way of the destination they’re trying to reach. The gods are typically the ones who mess with them the most. They are typically very handsome and muscular.
Modern heroes in movies such as The Avengers or Spiderman are normal everyday people with super powers. They are normal everyday people, but have a special ability. They don’t normally look so overly handsome and strong like the ancient heroes. Gods don’t play a big role in modern hero stories, but they still have someone or a group of people who try to stop them. It’s normally a villain, or an anti-hero. These are also normally regular people, with a special ability.
Ancient heroes and modern heroes are very similar. They have the same goal in mind, and that is to help people. They both have someone or something who tries to get in their way and stop them. They are different because of their attributes, like appearance, and powers. For the most part they have similar powers, such as strength.
