The definition of word "hero":

	2. anagram hoer
	3. Mythological or legendary figure, often of divine descent, who is endowed with great strength or ability, like the heroes celebrated in early epics such as Gilgamesh, The Iliad, Beowulf, or the Chanson de Roland. Usually illustrious warriors or adventurers, heroes are often represented as fulfilling a quest (e.g., Aeneas, in Virgil's Aeneid, founding the Roman state, or Beowulf ridding his people of the monstrous Grendel and his mother). Heroes often possess special qualities such as unusual beauty, precocity and skills in many crafts. Often inclined to boasting and foolhardiness, they defy pain and death to live fully, creating a moment's glory that survives in the memory of their descendants.

	5. Hero and Leander
	6. Hero of Alexandria;
	7. the daughter of Leonato and cousin to Beatrice in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Hero is the docile, ingenue heroine who buckles in the face of slander, literally fainting when falsely denounced as unchaste. Conventional in character, she and her beloved Claudio are foils to the play's sparring couple, Beatrice and Benedick.
	8. in literature, broadly, the main character in a literary work; the term is also used in a specialized sense for any figure celebrated in the ancient legends of a people or in such early heroic epics as Gilgamesh, the Iliad, Beowulf or La Chanson de Roland. These legendary heroes belong to a princely class existing in an early stage of the history of a people and they transcend ordinary men in skill, strength and courage. They are usually born to their role. Some, like the Greek Achilles and the Irish C Chulainn (Cuchulain), are of semidivine origin, unusual beauty and extraordinary precocity. A few, like the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf and the Russian Ilya of Murom, are dark horses, slow to develop. War or dangerous adventure is the hero's normal occupation. He is surrounded by noble peers and is magnanimous to his followers and ruthless to his enemies. In addition to his prowess in battle, he is resourceful and skillful in many crafts; he can build a house, sail a boat, and, if shipwrecked, is an expert swimmer. He is sometimes, like Odysseus, cunning and wise in counsel, but a hero is not usually given to much subtlety. He is a man of action rather than thought and lives by a personal code of honour that admits of no qualification. His responses are usually instinctive, predictable and inevitable. He accepts challenge and sometimes even courts disaster. Thus baldly stated, the hero's ethos seems oversimple by the standards of a later age. He is childlike in his boasting and rivalry, in his love of presents and rewards and in his concern for his reputation. He is sometimes foolhardy and wrong-headed, risking his life-and the lives of others-for trifles. Roland, for instance, dies because he is too proud to sound his horn for help when he is overwhelmed in battle. Yet the hero still exerts an attraction for sophisticated readers and remains a seminal influence in literature. The appearance of heroes in literature marks a revolution in thought that occurred when poets and their audiences turned their attention away from immortal gods to mortal men, who suffer pain and death, but in defiance of this live gallantly and fully and create, through their own efforts, a moment's glory that survives in the memory of their descendants. They are the first human beings in literature and the novelty of their experiences has a perennial freshness.
	9. F O O D (plural heroes), submarine sandwich (n) US - a long thin sandwich filled with cold meat, cheese and salad
	10. Everquest refers to the Minotaur Hero that pops up occasionally in Steamfont. Running away is generally the most appropriate response to hearing this shouted out. Very tough and very aggressive. e.g. "Hero detected - Run away bravely!"
