Heros

Heros fortissimus coronatur (Petrus Paulus Rubens, c. 1612-1614)

Heros (gen. herois, m.) sive de feminina herois (gen. heroidis) vel heroina (a verbo Graeco ἥρως) apud Graecos significabat semideum, iunctionem dei cum mortali.

Haec vox apud Ciceronem significat virum bonum vere Romanum eademque per ironiam virum sceleratum.

Hodie autem praecipue heros dicitur homo, qui fortitudinem summamque virtutem monstrat, cum in periculis, praecipue in bello, ponitur.
