In ancient times, the hero occupied a unique position between the worlds of men and the gods, reflecting a complex mythological hierarchy in which the boundaries between the divine and the heroic were highly arbitrary. In antiquity, heroes included city founders, wise legislators, valiant warriors, generous benefactors, talented poets, and profound philosophers whose influence continued after their death. Heroes performed many important functions: they provided assistance in both public and private affairs, defended cities, participated in battles, and could act as both benefactors and formidable avengers. Heroes' tombs were often located in prominent public places, and temples—heroina—were erected around them, where sacrifices were made.
The latest book in the series explores the hundred most famous heroes of the Ancient World.
