Your example could be an explicit representation of the Greek hero (Disney\u2019s Hercules, for example, or a modern sculpture representing Herakles himself), or a figure\/concept that is based on the idea that Herakles represents (the \u00fcbermensch archetype \u2013 the most obvious example, Superman!) Same goes with other heroes, just keep in mind what their most characteristic traits are. <\/p>\n<p>Feel free to choose a literary work, graphic novel, meme, TV series or film, contemporary artwork, maybe even a historical individual (does a particular athlete remind you of Herakles\u2019 character?) \u2013 or, more abstractly, perhaps you see a social phenomenon. I want you to exercise your creativity, imagination, and web-browsing skills to come up with an example of a Greek hero\u2019s presence in modern society. You can all see each other\u2019s posts, so feel free to find inspiration in your peers&#8217; ideas. If you have something exceptionally insightful to say about Disney\u2019s Hercules, by all means, go ahead; but let\u2019s not be too obvious! I don\u2019t want to see 50 reflections on Disney\u2019s retelling of the myth, however charming it may be. And remember, your example doesn\u2019t have to explicitly feature a certain Greek hero \u2013 as long as you can make a clear connection to the ideas that he represents.<\/p>\n<p>NB1.
