Who would you consider the most revered heroes in european history?
I'd nominate Spartacus or Joan of Arc
Alexander the Great, bar none.
>>802821
Charles Martel
Jan Sobieski
Richard the Lionhart
Prince Eugen of Savoy
Adolf Hitler
>>802827
I had him in mind as well
>>802836
>Eugene of Savoy
Literally nobody knows his name outside of students of late renaissance military matters.
I'd say Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Richard the Lionheart. Doesn't mean they deserve to be revered, just that they are.

Its only because of the scale of his achievement, the beauty of its tragic fall, and the classical world belonging to the successor states up until Rome rose.
It was a good story, a good time, and the diadochi by themselves could've made for great epic heroes.
By luck or fate, it is one of the most inspiring times of human history.

Old Alex really did live a pretty heroic life, nobody everybody in the west sucked his cock for centuries after
After being taught by one of the most influencial philosophers of all time the nigger just set out to rule the fuckin world. When he'd barely be old enough to drive today. He cucked the shah of persia so hard the shah's MOTHER mourned his passing more than her own blood related son.
IIRC when he was in central asia he just jumped over the walls of a city his men were to pussy to attack, then they followed him in after watching him trying 1v10000

Hercules
What about Francis of Assisi?
A hero of a different sort, to be sure, but someone who nearly stands alone as a moral example.
>>803010
He's a literally who
Hercules on the other hand, everyone knows his name.
Vlad Tepes
El Cid
Alexander Nevsky
>>802821
Franklin D. Roosevelt
AKA the man who killed hitler
Pontius Pilate
>>802821
Charlemagne maybe?
>>803010
Who?
>>803087
There's an entire genre of romances based on him, like King Arthur
Constantine XI Palaiologos. He sacrificed himself to start the renesance.
Any contemporary European heroes?
Boudicca?
Arminius?
Alfred the Great?
They're pretty larger than life

DEFINE "EUROPEAN HISTORY"
>>803211
>European
Half your list doesn't fit the bill bub.
Alexander the Great is definitely at the top of the list. Id say maybe Marius as well.. More because of his importance to the Romans and the vast change he brought that his actual heroic deeds though...
I wouldnt consider Caesar a hero... More of a fiend lol
>>803522
Yes, but Marius is barely revered at all. Even some people interested in the Punic Wars and Caesar's wars, etc. don't know his name.
