Stories about heroes and their journey have appeared in stories across the world, throughout time. Heroes don’t have to be super, anyone who strives to help others and make the world a better place can be a hero.

Robert Downey Jr., Marvel hero Iron Man, once said “I think that we all do heroic

things, but a hero is not a noun, it’s a verb.” No one is born a hero. What makes someone heroic is a series of actions such as saving others, not giving up, and accepting your destiny such as Odysseus in The Odyssey.

Odysseus shows bravery when he takes his men through the Underworld in order to get home. He knows it's a huge risk but he's willing to do anything to get his men home.

Odysseus is brave because he faced many challenges on his journey home and slayed many monsters.
