Question

1 multiple answer 2 points which of these are considered characteristics of the epic hero? the hero is a commoner the hero has superhuman powers the hero is of noble birth the hero is humble

Explanation:

• Epic heroes typically have superhuman powers (e.g., strength, courage beyond normal) and are of noble birth (royal or divine lineage). A commoner is not typical, and humility isn't a defining epic hero trait (they often have grand, heroic personas).
• "the hero has superhuman powers": Epic heroes like Beowulf or Achilles have abilities beyond ordinary humans.
• "the hero is of noble birth": Epic heroes are often kings, demigods, or from royal families (e.g., Odysseus, Gilgamesh).
• "the hero is a commoner" is incorrect (epic heroes are not ordinary commoners).
• "the hero is humble" is not a core characteristic (epic heroes are often grand, heroic, not defined by humility).

Answer:

B. the hero has superhuman powers, C. the hero is of noble birth
