Ouch. Let's not. Most of them were assholes. Hero in arcient myth, usually, just "biggest, strongest and meaniest guy around". At least when you take pre-Medieval european myths (Greece, Norse, and so on). Just look at Theseus, as one of the most bright examples.
Don't sure about asian, native americans, and so on. Maybe in their myths heroes were "better", from our point of view.
Sorry, when I say Ancient Mythic heroes I meant examples of them and their Gods at their most Heroic in a more modern sense.
Like tyr's depiction in God Of War, Hercules in Valkyrie, Gilgamesh when he finally learns how to rule and suffers through the death of Enkidu, Son Wukong maybe? I forget if he was an asshole or not in the original story. King David and King Solomon if you omit the cheating and folly God has to correct. Uhhhhh, I'm too lazy to list a bunch of heroes but you get what I mean.
Joe's like the full Fate Paragon package of like....a revived King Arthur ready to be the Once and Future King, or a Lancelot who never turnedon his king etc.
He had the potential to be the kind of Hero that other heroes strive to be, even more than Eidolon, Alexandria, Legend, or Hero are/were here.
I don't mean in the overly-capricious, selfish, and at times devoid of empathy way that many ancient heroes were.
Their world was harsh and so were many of their heroes.
Edit: Yeah I also don't like the preponderance of Western heroes when it comes to portrayals of righteousness, strength, hope, justice etc. Really would love for other cultures to get the spotlight. :/.
