4. Hercules is considered a Greek and Roman hero, but he also did some pretty horrific things. Why do you think Hercules is considered a hero? I think hercules is a hero because he understands right from wrong, and yet is never really scared of the outcomes of his daily events. Hercules even being a murderer tries to do all these things so that his being can be forgiven; killing someone to me cannot be so easily forgiven but it's the thoughts that counts. There are many times in life that one needs to please others in order to keep them and the atmosphere positive.
