Hero Perseus

More From Rick Riordan

That perseus always won. that's why my momhad named me after him, even if he was son of zeus ann i was son of posidon. the original perseus was one of the only heros in the greek myths who got a happy ending. the others died-betrayed, mauled, mutilated, poisoned, or cursed by the gods. my mom hoped i would inherit perseus's luck. judging by how my life was going so far, i wasn't too optimistic.
Mom Hero Optimistic
I was five steps away when he called, "perseus." i turned. there was a different light in his eyes, a fiery kind of pride. "you did well, perseus. do not misunderstand me. whatever else you do, know that you are mine. you are a true son of the sea god.
Eye Pride Son
It concerns me when i see a small child watching the hero shoot the villain on television. it is teaching the small child to believe that shooting people is heroic. the hero just did it and it was effective. it was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward. if enough of us find inner peace to affect the institution of television, the little child will see the hero transform the villain and bring him to a good life. he'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. so little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.

You know who it is? it's me in 10 years. so i turned 25. ten years later, that same person comes to me and says, 'so, are you a hero?' and i was like, 'not even close. no, no, no.' she said, 'why?' i said, 'because my hero's me at 35.' so you see every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my hero's always 10 years away. i'm never gonna be my hero. i'm not gonna attain that. i know i'm not, and that's just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.
Hero Years Months
Heroes come in all sizes, and you don't have to be a giant hero. you can be a very small hero. it's just as important to understand that accepting self-responsibi lity for the things you do, having good manners, caring about other people-these are heroic acts. everybody has the choice of being a hero or not being a hero every day of their lives.
Hero Caring Self
When your hero falls from grace, all fairy tales are uncovered myth exposed and pain magnified, the grace pays uncovered he told me to be strong, but i confused to see it so weak you say never to give up, and it hurts to see what comes to be when your hero falls soley the stars, and so does the reception of tomorrow without my hero, theres only me alone, to deal with my sorrow your heart ceases to work, and your soul is not happy at all what are you expected to do, when your only hero falls

It takes so much to be a king that he exists only as such. that extraneous glare that surrounds him hides him and conceals him from us; our sight breaks and is dissipated by it being filled and arrested by this strong light.

And truly it demands something god like in him who has cast off the common motives of humanity, and has ventured to trust himself for a taskmaster. high be his heart, faithful his will, clear his sight, that he may in good earnest be doctrine, society, law, to himself, that a simple purpose may be to him as strong as iron necessity is to others!

Yet this corporate being, though so insubstantial to our senses, binds, in burkes words, a man to his country with ties which though light as air, are as strong as links of iron. that is why young men die in battle for their countrys sake and why old men plant trees they will never sit under.
