# 13 A goal of any Homeric hero or any anciet Greek hero is to impress his peers commander or cheif in his worrior society. This is because you are more likley to get to the top of the ranks if you are the best.

ANY form of life, that includes the gods.

I think #12, i think this because it is important because you wont be respected if you dont respect anything.

good point Max, but what if this hero was doing something completely outrageous but amazing. He might be known as stupid, EG i can't belive he was dumb enough to fight that phalanx of men! that might be impressive, but wont get you to the top. anyway, life isn't always about being the best.

i disagree because what if the hero is brave, amazing, but a jerk. i think respecting all forms of life will get you farther beacause you never know when zeus can send a master bolt down to help

Number twelve (respects all forms of life) is the most important. It is because if you didn`t respect all forms of life then you wouldn`t protect the ones that you don`t respect and that isn`t heroic.

I disagree because you shouldn`t need to gain someone`s respect to become a hero but just protect them anyway.

I disagree with you because you don`t need to acheive the greatest glory as a hero you should just do it instead of trying to prove yourself to people.
