Re: Re: Mythological Greece as model for D&D
Forgive my oversimplification; I agree completely. A great example is Odysseus who uses his wits, disguise, etc. to fool the suitors before taking them by surprise.

Or rogue type ! A typical greek hero, like Jason (of the Argonauts) would be considered a crook or a plunderer outside of his country; mainly because they preyed on strangers. Greek heroes tend to use guile and cunning as much as strength (even Herakles, the strongest and dimmest witted of them).
