Warriors of Legend

Since the beginning of time, people have looked above and around them for strength and protection. Humans are invariably a little on the weak side and feel vulnerable in many situations. It is during these moments of weakness that most people bolster themselves with imagination and fantasy. Long ago, the Greeks had an entire cast and crew of gods and goddesses. These patrons of humankind filled the skies and wandered the earth, representing both the best in us and the worst in us.
As time passed and technology gave way to more vivid fantasy, that same technology gave us new and greater fears. However, has the new era really departed that far from the dreams of the past, perhaps it has not.
According to the Greeks, the universe was spawned by “the void”, known as Chaos. It is from this dark mixture of Gods that the Gods we know more in literature were born. The Greeks Gods were perhaps just as human in their character as a soap opera teenager. Zeus one day became the highest of Gods and ruled with an iron fist. His son Apollo dragged the sun across the skies during the day in his chariot. Apollo would most likely be represented by our modern day Superman. Superman never had the deep emotional issues of Zeus and was never anywhere near as wrathful.
The dark suited Batman, ruling over the night of Gotham most closely resembles Hades, ruler of the underworld. Wonder Woman actually was supposed to be a Goddess. Have we really made new heroes or just fashioned them from the villains and heroes of the past.
