The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Hunger Games both illustrate: two heroes who overcome obstacles in different ways‚ wise advisors the heroes seek wisdom from‚ an unbreakable bond between two characters‚ and also two very distinctive but successful journeys and victories.

Are heroes born heroes or are they merely a product of the moment? Some people believe that heroes are shaped by the training they undergo while some people believe that heroes simply come about in a moment of crisis.

Villain or heroine? Clytemnestra‚ one of the most misunderstood characters in all of the Oresteia. By most she is looked at as a terrible monster of a woman who killed her husband to take another man as her lover and then banished her children‚ but if her story is actually looked back on she might have every justifiable reason to have kicked Agamemnon to the curb. Not only does Agamemnon kill her daughter just so he can go to war –talk about daddy problems-‚ but they begin much before that when
