I'll give you an answer as to literature.
Hero or Heroine: The central CHARACTER (masculine or feminine) in a work Of FICTION or a DRAMA. The terms are applied to the characters who are the focus of the readers' or the spectators' interest, often without reference to the superiority of the moral qualities of one character over another. Used as a technical term in describing a work of FICTION, hero (or heroine) refers to a relationship of character to ACTION; therefore, the less loaded term PROTAGONIST is probably preferable. See PLOT, STRUCTURE, PROTAGONIST.

heros, regardless of culture, follow a particular pattern. Try reaing The Eternal Hero or The Hero with 1,000 faces.

This is a *very* general question, if you could be more specific it would help.
While it is true that 'anybody can be a hero' in life, there are different conventions in literature/mythology.
