Aristotle writes, "A man does not become a hero until he can see the root of his own downfall." Based on Aristotle's definition, which character from the works you read this term is the most heroic? Which is the least heroic?

Choose two characters you studied this year, from The Odyssey, Oedipus the King, The Inferno, or Julius Caesar (they do not have to both come from the same work) and explain which one is a hero and which is the least heroic.

Your characters might include Odysseus, Telemachus, Antinous, Oedipus, Creon, Dante, Julius Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, etc.

In your essay, discuss at least two ways the character you chose is a hero and two ways the character you chose lacks heroism, supporting your idea with specific examples from the texts. Your essay should be at least three to four paragraphs long.
