	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Hero
		For this reason hero cults were chthonic in nature, and their rituals more closely resembled those for Hecate and Persephone than those for Zeus and Apollo.
		For example, the circumstances of the hero's conception are unusual; an attempt is made by a powerful male at his birth to kill him; he is spirited away; reared by foster-parents in a far country.
		In modern movies, the hero is often simply an ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances, who, despite the odds being stacked against him or her, typically prevails in the end.

	Hero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A somewhat controversial view is the belief in a story archetype of the standard "hero's quest" or monomyth pervasive across all cultures.
		The idea of "identifying" with the hero takes on a very real meaning, in that the hero/protagonist becomes our only key to becoming part of the story rather than remaining merely an observer.
		In order to appeal to a wide range of individuals, the author often relegates the hero to a "type" of person which everyone already is or wishes themselves to be: a "good" person; a "brave" person; a "self-sacrificing" person.

		The story of Superman's origin parallels that of other cultural heroes and religious figures [1] who were spirited away as infants from places where they were in danger.
		In many ways, he is the perfect American hero, as he embodies all the best traits that people would believe to see in themselves.
		In many ways, Superman is truly one of the most "human" heroes conceived, since he responds to emotional grief in stark contrast to the way he shrugs off bullets, bombs, and death-rays.

	Spade Lugs -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lug or Lugh (pronounced "loo") is a former Irish deity represented in mythological texts as a hero and High King of the distant past.
		He is known by the epithets ''Lámfhada'' ("long hand"), for his skill with a spear or sling, ''Samildánach'' ("multi-talented", "skilled in many arts"), ''Lonnbeimnech'' ("fierce striker") and ''Macnia'' ("boy hero"), and by the matronymic ''mac Ethlenn'' or ''mac Ethnenn'' ("son of Ethliu or Ethniu").
		I suggest we might instead make Lug a small disambiguation page, rather than an immediate redirect.
