WHAT DOES HERO MEAN IN ENGLISH?
Hero
A hero or heroine refers to characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self-sacrifice—that is, heroism—for some greater good of all humanity. This definition originally referred to martial courage or excellence but extended to more general moral excellence. Stories of heroism may serve as moral examples. In classical antiquity, cults that venerated deified heroes such as Heracles, Perseus, and Achilles played an important role in Ancient Greek religion. Politicians, ancient and modern, have employed hero worship for their own apotheosis. Stories of the anti-hero also play a major role in Greek mythology and much of literature. The anti-hero is a protagonist whose qualities are the last expected from a person in certain situations; an anti-hero often lacks the typical characteristics of heroism, such as honor, nobility, bravery, compassion, and fortitude. The favorite type of anti-hero is a characterless individual.
Definition of hero in the English dictionary
The first definition of hero in the dictionary is a man distinguished by exceptional courage, nobility, fortitude, etc. Other definition of hero is a man who is idealized for possessing superior qualities in any field. Hero is also a being of extraordinary strength and courage, often the offspring of a mortal and a god, who is celebrated for his exploits.
