Beowulf
I believe Beowulf is the perfect example of an epic hero. Not only is he courageous and strong, but he possesses a quality that all great hero's should have, which is leadership. You can tell that Beowulf is a leader in part one when he voluntary goes to Denmark to kill Grendel. But this quality really shines in part two when Beowulf goes to fight the dragon. Beowulf ,an old man at that time, goes to fight the dragon alone instead of sending his warriors.
