A hero is one who can do anything to protect his people, guard the good and maintain high morality. The Greek hero Achilles and the Irishman Cuchulain both lead very similar lives; the lives of true warrior-heroes. Although the tales and myths of both of these great warriors come from very different cultures, it is important to note the similarities between them and they have various character traits that set them apart, but the myths of Achilles and Cuchulain are essentially the same type of legends. Achilles is considered the greatest of all Greek warriors. Because no man could beat him in combat and, above all, no weapon could pierce him except the heel. Upon the initial narration of the story, we get the sense that he is very moral and patient, but not until the death of his cousin who is killed by Hector who mistakes him for Achilles. Achilles who is enraged with anger and runs on the path of revenge by doing a series of murders until he kills Hector who was responsible for it. Achilles' vision towards his death is very captivating as he knows he would die young but still wanted to leave the world with glory and his name written in history. His courageous approach to life and his sheer arrogance on the battlefield make him an unbeatable warrior. But the revenge factor takes away a bit from his heroics. Nonetheless he is a great warrior who performed miracles and was a hero to many. He is not just a mythical figure but a literary masterpiece as many writers have come up with the same myths taking his character as inspiration. On the other hand Cuchulain is Achilles' twin but in a different time and myth. In the book, he was said to have seven fingers on each hand and seven toes... in the center of the card.... ...their heroes Achilles and Cuchulain were not only great warrior heroes, but they were the best. This comparison between the two heroes shows that the Irish and Greek cultures may have been the same in that time period. You can notice the information about the values ​​in the society and the perception of the people at that time in both places. They might be different in the field of development and local traditions, but subsequently it is evident that Irish mythology has a lot in common with Greek mythology; if one agrees with this, then Cuchulain is undoubtedly the Achilles of Irish myth. With nobility and little weakness, standing in front of a large army for the protection and well-being of people with dignity and honor makes him better than Achilles. References Kinsella, T. (1970).
