Epic Hero Description

Qualities that my Epic Hero shows are: bravery, courage, and leadership. When his army

and he are left to fight Grendel he encourages his army that they will be able to defeat Grendel.

These are qualities are significant because without these he would not be a good leader, which

means he would not have a good army to back him up in assistance whenever needed. His army

also respects, and is glad they have such a great leader. My Epic Hero’s name is Beowulf, who

was an adventurer, who loved fighting more than ruling the land. He rescued the Danes from an

atrocious beast who was slowly decreasing their population, and then later becomes the king of

Sweden till he passes away. Someone who embodies the same qualities of Beowulf is Barack

Obama. As a president he needs to have great leadership skills, courage, and bravery to help

get America back on the right track. My hero is not a realistic person. Beowulf is actually hero of

an Anglo-Saxon poem. It is the longest lasting Poem that British still acquire today. What caught

my eye about Beowulf was that, he puts his army and his people first, and he makes sure that

they are taken care of before he starts worrying about himself, and he kills a monster that has

been terrorizing a group of people (the Danes) for 12 years. Beowulf kills the monster and the

monsters mother to make sure that the problem has been dealt with. My Hero is more of a Epic

hero than a code hero, because he undergoes quests, he is a mortal, he is now a legend, and he

performs deeds that are valued by society.
