Hero

A hero (masculine or gender-neutral) or heroine (feminine) (Ancient Greek: ἥρως, hḗrōs) is a person or main character of a literary work who, in the face of danger, combats adversity through impressive feats of ingenuity, bravery or strength, often sacrificing his or her own personal concerns for some greater good.

The concept of the hero was first founded in classical literature. It is the main or revered character in heroic epic poetry celebrated through ancient legends of a people; often striving for military conquest and living by a continually flawed personal honor code. The definition of a hero has changed throughout time, and the Merriam Webster dictionary defines a hero as "a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities". Examples of heroes range from mythological figures, such as Gilgamesh, Achilles and Iphigenia, to historical figures, such as Joan of Arc and Gandhi, to modern societal heroes like Rosa Parks.

Etymology

The word hero comes from the Greek ἥρως (hērōs), "hero, warrior", particularly one such as Heracles with divine ancestry or later given divine honors. (literally "protector" or "defender") Before the decipherment of Linear B the original form of the word was assumed to be *ἥρωϝ-, hērōw-; R. S. P. Beekes has proposed a Pre-Greek origin.

    by: Me Vs Hero

    Don't think it was never the words you said
    Don't speak, I prefer when you're quiet
    All we ever do is start a riot
    We joined forces (but we'll never sing!)
    The same song alike
    Our tears will tell (our lives!)
    We'll never live forever (it's time to tell!)
    Our stories
    This will be our hearts ripped out dropped down on stone again
    Load up your guns, let's take this (outside!)
    Into the wilderness, out in the valley of the great unknown
    (Out where there's no going back!)
    Sweet 16 held a brighter outlook
    We bounced and we danced with every step that we took
    (We grew apart!)
    But now we're older and all grown up
    The bounce in our step has completely dried up
    Our tears will tell (our lives!)
    We'll never live forever (it's time to tell!)
    Our stories
    This will be our hearts ripped out dropped down on stone again
    Load up your guns, let's take this (outside!)
    Into the wilderness, out in the valley of the great unknown
    (Out where there's no going back!)
    (We'll take this to our graves)
    Those words will never change
    Don't bring it back up, let's keep this buried
    (Those things) will never happen again
    We never listened to a single word we ever said
    And this is how the story ends, our hearts were never broken
    We’ve been falling from the starting of the first day we met (first day we met!)
