Overview

A hero is a real person or fictional character who, in the face of danger, combats adversity through feats of ingenuity, courage, or strength. The original hero type of classical epics did such things for the sake of glory and honor. Post-classical and modern heroes, on the other hand, perform great deeds or selfless acts for the common good instead of the classical goal of wealth, pride, and fame. The antonym of hero is villain. Other terms associated with the concept of hero may include good guy or white hat.

Notable quotes

“Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh — that is to say, over fear: fear of poverty, of suffering, of calumny, of sickness, of isolation, and of death. There is no serious piety without heroism. Heroism is the dazzling and glorious concentration of courage.”
— Henri-Frédéric Amiel, Journal entry dated 1 October 1849, Journal Intime (1882)
“A hero is an average person who has done something extraordinary.”
— Ann E. Dunwoody, A Higher Standard (2015)
“Another definition of a hero is someone who is concerned about other people's well-being, and will go out of his or her way to help them -- even if there is no chance of a reward. That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero.”
— Stan Lee, Cyberspacers.
“Heroing is one of the shortest-lived professions there is.”
— Will Rogers nationally syndicated column number 114, Monuments Are All Right But Even Heroes Must Eat (1925).
“Il n'y a pas de grand homme pour son valet-de-chambre.”
— No man is a hero to his valet.
“These young heroes never gave up. Despite the dire situations and overwhelming obstacles that they encountered, these courageous kids found the inner strength to perservere during dangerous rescues. They did what they believed had to be done, no matter the risk, no matter the cost to their own safety. In every case, it was worth it- because these heroes saved lives.”
— Allan Zullo, The Rescuers (2006), New York: Scholastic, October 2006 first edition paperback, Ch. 1: Kid Heroes, p. 2
