At the start of this volume, the opening discusses the concept of a "hero" in ancient Greece, describing them as individuals of extraordinary strength and moral qualities, and delves into the religious and historical significance of hero worship. It outlines various theories regarding the nature of heroes, including their connections to divine or semi-divine statuses, as well as their relationships with the rituals and traditions surrounding them. The beginning sets the stage for further explorations into other heroes and related topics, establishing a scholarly tone that aims to inform the reader about the complexities of heroism in myth and history.
