Homer actually wrote about many famous Greek heroes. Some are among the following:

  • Achilles, hero of the epic The Iliad
  • Agamemnon, "the lord of all men" also found in The Iliad
  • Odysseus, hero of The Odyssey but also found in The Iliad
  • Ajax, there's two of them, take your pick from The Iliad
  • Patroclus, Achilles's best buddy, from The Iliad
  • Menelaus, Agamemnon's brother and husband of Helen, hero status however can be debated, found in The Iliad

There are of course more, but these listed above are some of the more well known.
