Favorite myhtical hero.

[MountainBlade]

To go with the favorite ancient and medieval topics...your favorite mythical hero. Period doesn't matter, as long as they are (mostly) fictitious. If they defeat armies on their own or live for 300 years they count as mythical.

Well, Cuchulain was always pretty awesome. And the Volsung saga, I always loved Sigmund and Hagan.

 

[Yeyinde]

... Does Sigmund Freud count?

...

...

On a more serious note, I'd say Holger Danske.

Just because he's like, a national hero and ****.

Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, main character from Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe.

Not exactly from mythology, but he was set in a romantisced England during the Crusades, which is a bit of a mythology in itself.

 

[FrisianDude]

I'm gonna have to go with Achilles today. Tomorrow I might reconsider that.

 

[Buxton]

Erwin König?

Otherwise, Robin Hood, fictional or not.

 

[Uku]

Cuchulainn is a good choice. I'm going for Odysseus, though. Gotta have respect for a resilient type like him.

 

[Guan_Chung]

Wow, how did I forget Odysseus? Yeah, him too.

Cuchulainn, for the sheer awesome brutality of his Gae Bolg.

Another less-well known Irish hero was Diarmuid ua Duibhne. Being the foster son of the god of love Aonghus, he's not exactly the definition of "baddass" (heck, his name means Diarmuid of the Love Spot), but he DID beat a big, ogre-like creature to death with apparently his bare hands just because his girlfriend wanted some fruit 

 

[St Cheshire]

Menelaus and Hector from the Illiad

those are two kick ass duded

 

[Predak]

Sir Gawain, pre-Lancelot. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is one of my favorite stories, though I like it even better retold by Gerald Morris.

 

[Ruthven]

(Naridill will probably agree with me) I think either Loki or Tyr. probably Tyr, though. who doesn't love a mortal, one handed, sword wielding Badass god?
other than that, I think Bellerophon and Heracles were pretty cool.

       Still, Tyr gets my vote.
EDIT: actually Chuck Norris. if he wants to be a mythical hero, ****, he can be a mythical hero.

King Arthur exept he was a roman fending off saxons instead of a king

 

[Muglos]

As my avatar states; Sigmar the first true ruler of man and brought all the nomadic tribes together and united them under one banner.

Didn't he use the ogre's club for that though?
And, Diomedes was awesome. (Not the one with the silly horses.)

 

[Corvus]

Id have to say Beowulf. Grendel was bad enough, but his mom...!?!?!?!?

Otherwise it would have to be Narcissus, just because "Narcissistic" and "Narcissism" are such cool words.

 

[FrisianDude]

Narcissus wasn't much of a hero, though.

Did he? I forget.

But still.

 

[Æsir]

Sigurd or Frithiof

ODIN WINS OVER ALL!

 

[Ruthven]

Loki could destroy Odin any day. and not even I can beat Tyr's Mad Skillz with a sword. Odin loses. out of all the Aesir, Odin's number 4. (Tyr, Loki, Thor, Odin,)
