Which of the following is characteristic of an epic hero?
a. an epic hero must have at least one parent that is a god.
b. an epic hero must have no human frailties and flaws.
c. an epic hero must be more courageous than the typical man.
d. an epic hero must be able to vanquish all of his enemies.

OKay, so the let’s go over the first option...

An epic hero must have at least one parent that is a god.

This statement is very false. Of course, it COULD  be a quality of an epic hero, but it’s NOT  a required quality.

Next option.

An epic hero must have no human frailties and flaws.

This option is also incorrect. There are many heros, real or fiction, that have many so-called "human frailties" or "human flaws." Even the epic hero's you read about in books or comics or see in movies have flaws. No matter what no one is perfect.

Next option.

An epic hero must be more courageous than the typical man.

This, however, is true. To be an epic hero, it is required to be more courageous than the average man. If they are not more courageous than the average man then they are not an epic hero. They’re probably just a hero or maybe even a man if they’re not more courageous.

( We’ll ignore the last option since we have clearly found the correct answer. )

This means that the answer is c )  An epic hero must be more courageous than the typical man.
