    An epic hero is a brave and noble character, admired for great achievements or affected by grand events. The source from which this comes from is “The Odyssey” by Homer. This story is about a man named Odysseus who fought to save his life. Suffering from bitter days and nights. Trying to get his shipmates home. Although Odysseus couldn’t save them, for their own recklessness destroyed each and every one of them. Acting as children and fools, they feasted on the cattle of the Sun God Helios. From all of these adventures, the daughter of Zeus, Muse, tells us in our time to lift the great song again. Killing his own men on the land of Scylla and Charybdis’, and lying.…

One dynasty within this epoch stands out, as being one of the most provocative and influential was the Julio-Claudian dynasty. This period was introduced with the instigation of the emperor Julio Augustus, known as one of the most appreciated emperors in Roman history. After Augustus came the rulers Tiberius, Gaius Germanicus (Caligula), Claudius and Nero. With every new ruler the amount of power and wealth in the city swelled, some even say that it was the golden age of Roman literature and arts. Each of these power broker’s have one person in common, apart from imperial extravagance and notoriety, they all have felt the sting of Julia Agrippina’s manipulative powers (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2013). When studying Agrippina it is found that many of the sources do not retain a sympathetic view of the During the Julio-Claudian era Agrippina the younger only retained her power through the manipulation of her son, husband and peers.

    There are many breath taking examples of Roman influence on many American monuments. A good example of this is the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington. This building was designed by Cass Gilbert and built in 1935. Its design is directly based on the Roman Temple design including the characteristics of raised podiums and a formal front staircase. In an article titled, “Roman Power/ Roman Architecture”, it states that “The decision to base courthouse designs in America on Roman temples is understandable, when it is remembered that our legal system traces its authority back to the tradition of Roman law.”…

In modern day society an epic hero is a larger than life person that has outstanding abilities and has some kind of antagonistic foe that that he/she has to battle with. Sadly the character Odysseus from Homer's Odyssey would not fit the example of a modern day epic hero because he’s conceded, non forgiving and he cares about himself over the lives of his crewmates.…

My definition of an epic hero is someone who can overcome passed mistakes and struggle to become a better person internally, while leading, staying loyal and sacrificing what needs to be sacrificed for the sake of his or her people.…
