Beyond Solo Acts: Celebrated Adventures of Greek Heroes
The tales of Greek heroes extend beyond the individual feats we've discussed. Legends recount three particularly noteworthy undertakings involving bands of heroes:
- The Argonautic Expedition: This legendary voyage involved a group of heroes, led by Jason, seeking the Golden Fleece from the distant land of Colchis.
- The Seven Against Thebes: This epic conflict pitted seven warriors, including the famed Polynices, against the fortified city of Thebes.
- The Siege of Troy: This legendary war, immortalized in Homer's Iliad, saw a coalition of Greek forces lay siege to the powerful city of Troy for ten long years.
