Dating back to ancient Greece, the term “hero” was defined as “a superior man”, the embodiment of the other composite idea” (Fishwick, 1985). The gods imbued the hero with exceptional human characteristics such as strength, power, and courage (Fishwick, 1985). However, as a historically and culturally delineated construct, “heroism” has evolved across time and national boundaries. (Fishwick,1985).
