Hero- greek word means cowardly, vindictive, selfish, but do accomplish great things. You have the illusion that you do what you want, but everything in your life was destined. Croesus showed him his wealth and power, then he asked solon who he would think is the happiest person in the world. He named a stranger, and croesus was disappointed so he asked about the 2nd happiest person, and he named another random person. When the priests predicted this, it didn"t come as a surprise because everything back then was a manmade weapon. Croesus was a man of power and tried to change fate by ordering that no manmade weapons were to be around his son. That meant that all the skills that all the other men were learning, his son wasn"t.
