In a RAISE response answer this question: How does Hercules exemplify the qualities of an epic hero? Make sure to list at least
two specific examples from either the Hercules movie or from the ted ed video that you viewed yesterday. Please be sure to specify which version you are picking.
In this answer, I am picking the Disney movie "Hercules" to answer this question.
In this movie, we see that Hercules exemplifies many of the qualities that we expect to find in epic heroes. One example of this is the fact that Hercules fights a great variety of beasts and monsters in order to prove his strength, his goodness and his courage. Another quality Hercules has is the fact that he has some supernatural qualities that humans do not have, such as unusual strength. Finally, Hercules is an epic hero because he undergoes a journey that humans do not usually undertake and that he can only fulfill because of his supernatural qualities. This is the journey to the underworld in order to save the woman he loves.
