The purpose of an epic hero

The ultimate purpose of an epic hero is to leave something of lasting value to his culture. I am supposed to write a blog about what Beowulf left to his people. Beowulf left behind many things to his people. He left courage with his people through the spirit and honor that he expressed towards others and his obstacles. He helped many people without needing something in return those people will always have that memory of him, along with a large amount of respect for him. The things that he left behind were inspirational stories of his life, his accomplishments, and his unselfish kindness.
