(Maximum 150 words)

Answer 1

One of the most important characteristics that makes him a distinct hero is his extraordinary physical strength coupled with his courage. He fought many human, non-human and gods in his pursuit to glory. He was not afraid of anything or anybody making him the greatest hero ever in the Greek mythology. For this reason, he went on multiple adventure trips defeating many, while also helping many on the way such as freeing Prometheus. The second characteristics is his ability to solve the problems that he himself had caused. Tis would mean that he was a short tempered and quick to decide person who never thought of the consequences when he engages in his activities and adventures. However, he was also capable of solving those issues which would mean that he was also a tremendous problem solver by shouldering the responsibility of his deeds without blaming others. Both courage and problem solving skills make him a phenomenal personality in the history.
