Answer 1

The role of the hero
More often than not, the subject of Greek myths is heroic. The role of the hero is mapped out in such recurring themes as the separation from the mother, the overcoming of obstacles, and the finding and supplanting of the father. The great heroes whose lives conform to this pattern include Perseus, Theseus, Jason and Oedipus.
Gods and Goddesses
The gods were differentiated from the heroes not so much by their strength as by their supernatural power. They demanded worship from heroes and men alike and, in return, were able to perform miracles, offer supernatural protection, or give magical gifts - as in the story of Perseus.
