Poll: Mythological Hero?
- Thread starter NeutralDrow

Mythological heroes? Well, I would say that any of the greatest Greek heroes. Achilles, Hercules, Jason etc. If I had to pick a favourite... hmmm... Sigurd, or Siegfried, of Norse mythology. He drank a dragon's blood. Good times.
I'm more for Norse Mythology and Egyptian plus the stuff that you only read about in American Gods then go look it up and find it fascinating. Or find yourself doing research for a paper or something unrelated and stumble across some obscure mythology. Native American is good too. I'm generalizing because I can't think fully yet. Still pulling mind away from Okami and Diablo 2

Harry Potter isn't a myth. I hope that was a joke.Roundhousekickintheface said:
I must commend the OP for sharing the belief that polls are not the most important aspect of a thread.
I must also use this time to jeer and pull funny faces at anyone who has decided that this thread is now about the poll and how it could be better.
As for my mythological preferences, any hero (or Villain) from Norse mythology wins in my book.
But I'm also pretty happy with Gaelic and Greek mythologies as well (but not Roman. Silly Romans and their knees bent running about ways. The least they could have done is make up their own gods, rather than plagiarising the awesome Greek ones and making me confused as to what the Greek names and Roman names for specific gods/heroes are. (eg. Hercules is actually Heracles in the Original Greek stories.))

Do gods count? Because I think Loki is awesome, but he must have some really messed up sperm, he did a giant and somehow she gave birth to the world serpent, a giant wolf and a chick that's half decayed. He really is a prick but he's an awesome prick.
Siegfried , it basically the norse mythology's Achilles but the reason I have him as my favorite is because the norse mythology sounds to me a much more fun place in which you can be invincible.
Also , if gods count , then thor would my first pick

Y'know, that guy, the one who was awesome. Oh wait, there I go again talking about myself. But seriously, I don't know.
The FSM isn't a mythological hero. HE IS A GOD, don't make him strike you down with his noodly appendage.Infernai said:
For hero I pick Beowulf, but not the one from the crappy movie. I pick the one from the epic poem.
I'm gonna go for Odyssius (i think that's how it's spelled). The guy fought in the Trojan war and took about 10 years to get home. Got to be one of the unluckiest heroes ever.
I would have to put it down to either Hannibal Barca
yes i know he was actually real but i mean he is quite legendary
yes i know he was actually real but i mean he is quite legendary
I aint to much into the mythological so i am going to have to say Hannibal Barca cause he was legendary
I'm glad you did. Thinking about how that would make sense led to a frightening conclusion.traceur_ said:
Gods...no. Their roles sometimes overlapped (especially the Norse ones, especially the wacky adventures of Thor and Loki), but I'm looking for the closer-to-human ones. Demigods are fine, like Gilgamesh, who is 2/3 god by a process I'm hesitant to speculate about.
