Heroes, Heroines, and Other Figures of Greek Mythology
"There are famous figures in Greek mythology known for their weaknesses and mistakes, yet they possess exceptional powers, such as immortality or special teachings that allow them to overcome human limitations. Thus, they often compete with monsters and gods, and are frequently distinguished by their courage and determination, enabling them to face insurmountable adversities and challenges. Despite being heroic, these characters are often marked by unfortunate, dramatic, and fateful events surrounding them, making them tragic figures heavily influenced by the whims and caprices of the gods."
