I believe Perseus is more heroic because when he went on his adventure he never killed unless he had to kill. Perseus’s backstory Is heartbreaking and sad but not brutal unlike Hercules, where he killed his family. Perseus also have back to those who helped him along his way got rid of the evil in his home town, saving many lives. While Jason helped people, he only helped them when he was in asked, Jason didn’t go back and help others after his journey.

I think that Perseus is one of the more heroic of the others because he did what he had to do and killed only if he had too. He had rescued Andromeda from a sea monster, on his adventure to rescue Andromeda he was very considerate and did what he had to do to get rid of the awful sea monster. Perseus also gave back to the people that helped him on his adventure which saved many lives. This is why I think that Perseus is the most heroic that the others.
I believe that Heracles is the more heroic of the three mentioned. The reason I think this is because Perseus got so much help from the Gods and Goddesses. Jason got more help from Medea. Heracles didn't need much help in order to not only repent for murdering his wife and children, but to become more heroic.
Perseus only did what he had to, when he had to, when it came to killing. He killed the Cetus, the sea monster. Following the slaying of the monster, he rescued Andromeda. When thinking about Jason, he only did things when he was asked. Hercules backstory was more brutal in the sense that he killed his entire family, more so for power. All in all, I believe that Perseus was more heroic than the others.
I think Perseus is most heroic to me because he went on an adventure to save his mother, and saved others along the way. Hercules went on the 12 quests just to make himself pure and have people know him. Perseus only killed when he had to, he only did bad things if he had to. But hercules' answer is to kill, as well as ruin and break everything.
I think Perseus is the most because he went on a quest to save his mother and he ened up saving others too. He did not kill. He only killed the Cetus. He did this not for himself but, aslo for oithers too.
I think that Hercules/Heracles is the most heroic of the three, for he completed 12 labors with not much help, while the other two had lots of help from the gods. Although Hercules/Heracles had a large ego and wasn't the most intellegent, he completed the most heroic tasks. Besides all that, He's also seen as Greece's greatest hero.
I think that hercules is the most heroic because people idolized him like a god even though he was not. He also completed all of the labors which helped protect the people near by because if hercules doesn't kill the hydra or the lion it can harm more people.
I think that Heracles was the most heroic of the three. For me the main reason is that Perseus and Jason received a lot of help throughout their journey. Heracles spent his journey trying to redeem himself on his own. I also find it very notable that Heracles was so noticed by his heroism that the gods actually made him a god.
I believe that Perseus was the most heroic because what he did was for other people and not for himself or to make up for himself for what he had done. He did what he did for love and only killed when he had to. Overall he had the best morals.
I would say Perseus is the most Heroic. Heracles has many flaws like killing his family, and Jason didn't remain as a hero after he completed his quest. Perseus is the only one who stayed a good person throughout his entire life. Although he got the most help out of all the Gods, that could also mean that he was the most favored out of everyone there. Perseus completed his quest because he had good morals, not because he had is own quest to fulfill.
I believe that hercules is the most heroic because he received the least amount of help from the gods and is still extremely strong and powerful, although he has a little bit of a strong ego; but overall, he is extremely heroic despite not getting much help from the gods and goddesses.
I think Perseus is the most Heroic because he was fighting and going on the quest to save his mother and other people, even though he received help from gods and other people he has a more moral reason to do the quest, not just fighting to redeem himself for tragic things in the past, like Hercules was.
Perceious was more herioic he wanted to help his mom and make sure all would be okay, he wasn’t trying to better himself because he didn’t harm anyone else. He did what was needed and didn’t kill unless it was required.
I believe that hercules is the most heroic, because he commited a massive crime of murdering his family. everything he did, he did to better himself and that really showed the citizens of greece that you can redeem yourself. it shows the world that even if you screw up it will not be the end of your life, and being heroic in my mind is acting to convey a message.
I believe Hercules was the most heroic due to how little help he received from the Gods. Yes, he killed his family, but he had to overcome 12 labors that were "supposed" to be impossible that he accomplished. Perseus and Jason received a ton of help from the Gods and Goddesses in order to achieve their goal. Hercules also was the the only one of the three who was made a God.
I think that hercules is the most heroic because of all of the trials that he had to go through. Hercules did get help from the gods but he did outsmart most of his foes. Compared to perseus and jason he is a lot more heroic because he went through a lot more. hera made him kill his own family and then he had to go through 12 trails just to make up for what he did.
I think that Hercules is the most heroic because he willingly wanted to fight the monsters. Even though he wanted to help himself which I think is still heroic. Also, he still helped many people along the way.
I think that is Hercules because he had the ability to relate to the gods even though he wasn't one himself. Hercules endured many hardships and struggles, which in turn would make him immortal. He was strong and carried the attributes of a god. He has the ability to adapt to his environments and prove powerful no matter the situation.
Perseus is the most heroic Greek hero. Perseus is the most heroic because he has the strongest moral values and performed his tasks for others rather than himself. Hercules' labors were very impressive, but he was not as morally strong as Perseus. Being a hero is more than completing challenging tasks. Also Perseus got much help from the Athena and Hermes which was considered an honor by the Greeks. Rather than diminishing the achievement it adds to the achievement.
I believe Heracles was the most heroic because all of his feats are a kind of underdog story and he completed 12 things while jason or perseus only really completed one or two. Heracles also wasn't really helped by the gods but even hurt by hera. I also think that even today heracles is seen as mythology's greatest hero with all the movies and stuff while jason isn't being played by the rock in any movies.
I say Perseus is the most heroic mainly because he wants nothing more than to save his mother from the spiteful king. Yes he gets some help from the gods like a shield to fight Medusa because he couldn't look into her eyes but he could look at her reflection and a sword strong enough to cut the Gorgan (medusa) thick skin
I would say that Perseus is the most heroic due to the fact that his journey fell back on nothing more than his want to save his mother from the spiteful king. The others had good morals, but I would argue they both had a bit more want to do what they did to better themselves in the eyes of others.By getting help from Athena and Hermes, Perseus added even more honor and legend to the heroic story.
Hercules is the most heroic because he was able to complete a greater number of harder tasks than any of the other heroes. He also got less help from the Gods (he was actually hindered because Hera gave him tasks she didn't think he could complete.) Hercules also performed his labors to make up for what he did, instead of performing tasks to gain power or immortality as some of the other heroes did. Because of that, Zeus offered him immortality anyways.
Out of Jason, Perseus and Hercules the most heroic is seen to be Hercules because he had completed his 12 labors without help and working against the gods and goddesses, while Perseus and Jason had help from the gods and goddess along their heroes journey and not as difficult challenges to overcome.
