A hero doesn't necessary have to be person that saves lives. When the general population thinks of hero, they think of Superman or Spider man. Those are beings with powers beyond normal human capabilities. Though they are the perfect examples of a hero, they are not the best definition of a hero. A hero can be someone who touches another human being spiritually and mentally.
Homer is a good example of the other type of hero. He was a blind writer who's writing made an impact throughout time. Homer is considered a hero to many current day philosophers. His writings "The Odyssey" and "The Iliad" continue to make an impact on literature. Other writers such as Langston Hughes and J.K. Rowling are considered heroes due to their cultural and fictional writings.
