Do you think that Medea is a hero or an anti-hero?

Most heros of greek tragedy are anti-heros in that sense.  They are human. They let their weaknesses take lead in their lives and then suffer for that.

A little of both.  A hero when he lead his people to control of their own country in his younger days.  But as happens frequently around the world....power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Heroes are ordinary people in extraordinary times. People need opportunities and luck to be a hero :)

How about Pegasus the Winged Horse? Medusa was a witch. And what about the Golden Fleece, though that wasn't a weapon.

of course no. If so, the nazi who carried out Holocaust shoud have been hero as well\nMany people think so because they are fed up with pro-American and pre-Israeli media

Your quoted text is not a question, it is a statement. \n\nIf you have read the text, then you should know you are being asked to elucidate the trials and conflicts of each of those "heroes," and to show how each becomes a character worthy of notice, of the title "hero."

Arachne.  She weaves better than Athena, for which she is turned into the first spider.  What I like about it is the fact that during the contest she weaves scenes of how awful and petty the gods are, so she seems to know full well the consequences likely to befall her if she prevails against a goddess.  Yet, she does it anyway.  I just like the way she "speaks truth to power" without backing down.

A tragic hero is an individual that is above his peers in some way, but also has a severe handicap, known as the tragic flaw.  This can come in the form of a physical handicap, or a personality flaw (like pride, jealousy, etc.).  I'm not sure about modern tragic heros, but both Greek and Shakespearean ones were marked as being uncommon, either of the nobility or of divinity (a demi-god, for instance).\n\nFeel free to message me if you need more specifics.

If I were dressing as a hero, hmmm... rogue from the x-men. If I was a villain, I think that I would be, well I would be cruella deVille actually. she is just too heinous.

I think they should continue with the Greek/Roman God tradition. I'd put my vote for Hera (in greek) Juno (in Roman). She might as well have one.

It sure is.  "Heroes" is an overused word that rarely is applied to any real heroes.

Pegasus\n\nWhen the hero Perseus (who is Zeus's son by the mortal Danae) cut off Medusa's head.  A few creatures were born from the blood. The winged horse Pegasus was one of them.\nI think there is another myth about Pegasus' origin. But a multiple birth is common in greek myth.

A certain maiden named Agnodice desired to learn medicine and since she desired to learn she cut her hair, donned the clothes of a man and became a student of Herophilos.See infos in the link bellow

Wow...now entertainers can be considered heroes!!! Nothing is sacred in this country anymore!!!  I think justice used to be about justice and not stardom (OJ Simpson)and I think the status of hero was once held in the highest regard for those that saved another person or demonstrated the highest level of courage...now fame can buy the title of hero!!!  Also, if Celine did actually do something that required the utmost of bravery for the welfare of another person, I'm sure she would be called a heroine and not a hero.

Crazy Fire is mistaken. King Midas was the one who wished for gold. Medusa is from Greek Mythology.\n\n"Medusa was a terrible monster who had laid waste to the country. She was once a beautiful maiden whose hair was her chief glory, but as she dared to vie in beauty with Athena, the goddess deprived her of her charms and changed her beautiful ringlets into hissing serpents. She became a cruel monster of so frightening an aspect that no living thing could behold her without being turned into stone. All around the cavern where she dwelt might be seen the stony figures of men and animals which had chanced to catch a glimpse of her and had been petrified with the sight. Perseus, favored by Athena and Hermes, the former of whom lent him her shield and the latter his winged shoes, approached Medusa while she slept, and taking care not to look directly at her, but guided by her image reflected in the bright shield which he bore, he cut off her head and gave it to Athena, who fixed it in the middle of her Aegis."
