[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7829816, member: 82504"] Yeh probably but there are also good reasons that happens. Many of the original dragons were the size of alligators (look at St George statues) Humans have grown to be so potent we can destroy cities and likely planets we are more awesome for magic to be impressive it well it grew from the classics into a lot more boom boom. He was known as a prodigy too... starting out at really early age so yeh very D&D character like... he gained Well described techniques (yes called Feats - familiar word eh) some which went over the top and Perseus Gained Magic Items. Tony pointed out the latter is a very similar to D&D character hero. (but aside from one being internally developed and the other being externally acquired its rather similar. Alexander the Great also claimed Divine Heritage but not early his the career.. Hiawatha was doing things that are impossible to the current D&D fighter but not sure he has any godling myth about him. It may just be an impression at this point but characters like Odysseus (and maybe Herakles) were not possibly not presented as divine early on... and part of the Herakles story does involve him being finally "recognized" by the gods and granted status among them. Herakles labours were proof of his potency but they could have also been him developing as well. [/QUOTE]
