520    "In its present usage, the word "hero" seems an all-
       purpose moniker applied to everyone from Medal of Honor 
       recipients to celebrities to comic book characters. This 
       book explores the Western idea of the hero, from its 
       initial use in ancient Greece, where it identified 
       demigods or aristocratic, mortal warriors, through its 
       present-day usage"--Provided by publisher
