One of man’s earliest examples was Beowulf‚ the valiant hero called forth to slay the evil beast Grendel. Beowulf is portrayed as a man with wits‚ physique‚ and morality superior to all others. Perhaps the earliest example of another hero would be Jesus‚ the man Christians claim to be the savior of mankind. Jesus

The Life of Jesus Christ The birth of Jesus Christ to the Virgin Mary is said to have happened in a humble stable in Bethlehem‚ which is of some controversy.
