Tim Miller defines his hero as being an average person who themselves choose to do astonishing tasks and while they may not be a superhero from a comic book who always save the day, they sacrifice themselves for others and good deeds. Really, is that not what heroism is? It becomes an action which can be shown by anybody and really it is not about if you are a superhero or powerful, but about the selflessness you exhibit for others. While the task may not be daily, it comes at the sacrifice to facilitate others. In the novel Chanda’s Secrets, Allan Stratton emphasizes through the use of character’s thoughts, actions and speech about heroism and how it can be displayed by even the poorest of the person as it comes from the good of one’s heart for loved ones and themselves through their small deeds, despite the difficulty.

The narrator in ATTH, killed because he claimed the old man’s eyes resembled that of a vulture’s and that he felt uncomfortable because he also claimed that whenever they fell on him, his “blood ran cold”.
“Sing, goddess, the anger of Peleus’ son Achilleus and its devastation.” This quote is the first line of the highly acclaimed, Iron Age epic, Homer’s Iliad, that describes the tenth and final year of the famous Trojan War, which led to the ultimate destruction of Troy and the Trojans. The most powerful fighter in the war was swift-footed Achilleus, even though he was absent for the majority of it. This absence was caused by a quarrel between him and the King of Mycenae, commander-in-chief of the Achaean army, Agamemnon. The King had stolen Achilleus’ ‘prize’, the Queen Briseis, and consequently insulted his honor and pride. Achilleus’ temporary resignation alienated him from the Greeks, as they are in great need of him, and it makes him seem like much less of a hero to modern readers today.

He did not fight in the war for a time due to his anger and humiliation but when his best friend Patroclus was slain by Hector he was driven by revenge and rejoined the fight. Hector was considered the warrior-champion for the Trojans, who had persuaded the Trojan warriors to leave Troy and the safety it provided while Achilles was not taking part in the battle.
On line 437, the chorus is speaking and they say that the god of war was the “money changer” of dead bodies. When the citizens of Greece sent their young men off to fight they got urns packed with ashes in return. The Greeks felt cheated by the cost of the Trojan War. In lines 442-444, it says, “dust” of loved ones is “heavy and bitter with tears shed, packing smooth the urns with ashes that were once men.” The people say (lines 447-448) “sons went down splendid in the slaughter and all for some strange woman.” The people “mutter in secrecy and the slow anger creeps below their grief at Atreus’ sons and their quarrels.” They blame Agamemnon and
