There were many Greek heroes but these heroic men and women are the best of the best.Odysseus who I think was the greatest of all the heroes even though he got some of his men killed when he wanted to go see the cyclops Polyphemus.Percy Jackson the proclaimed lightning thief had to fight Medusa and sliced her head off.With the his sword he named Riptide.Which is kind of funny because who names a sword Riptide of all names.Achilles a great hero who participated in the Trojan War.He died by getting shot in the heel with an arrow by Paris near the end of the Trojan war and that is where Achilles heel comes from.Hercules the demigod was the son of Zeus and the enemy of Hera he even showed aggression toward his kids because of Hera.

Odysseus a greek hero that was curious because he wanted to go see things like the Lotus eaters,the Cyclops Polyphemus,and the Sirens.He got some of his men killed because of his curiosity.He might have been able to get home faster if he had not stopped and went to see all those creatures.Even though he had saved his men some of the time.He is arrogant for taunting the Cyclops and telling him his name and now he has a curse.Polyphemus his name.Some of Odysseus traits consist of :bravery,courage,and intelligence.
