Heroes represent the link between gods and men in Greek mythology. Most of them were either demigods (direct sons/daughters of gods), or had divine heritage. They were the pinnacle of what it meant to be human.

The heroes were archetypes for Greek life. They presented the ideal Greek man, and in many cases, established the superiority of one city over others.
