How is percy jackson a hero? explain

EXCUSE YOU?!?! He defeated Kronos, Ares, Hades, an entire army of the dead with one sword, dipped in the river Styx, held the sky, defeated Gaea (sort of...? It was really Leo.), fought Amazons, saved the world not once, but twice, fought Empousai, the Minotaur twice, Medusa, Procrustes, the Nemean Lion, Geyron, Hellhounds (even managed to befriend one), Sobek's son, (evil) Cyclops, (evil) Centaurs, Tellkhines, Otis, Ephialtes, Luke (though, Luke sort of defeated himself), and a lot, lot more. Did I mention defeating Kronos? He was still new to being a demigod. He even jumped into (and survived) Tartarus (he jumped in the name of love). He was only fifteen when he was asked immorally. He turned it down. He found and returned the Golden Fleece, brought back Thalia, almost killed Nico (long story), stole the heart of many people (Nico, Annabeth, Calypso, an Amazon, Rachel, etc). DO YOU WANT ME TO EXPLAIN HOW ALL OF THIS MAKES HIM A HERO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.
