heroes (Portuguese)
Where does "heroes" come from?
This word traces back to the Ancient Greek 'hērōs', originally referring to a semi-divine protector or mythological figure. It entered Portuguese via the Latin 'heros', evolving from a legendary term for a warrior-deity into a common way to describe people of exceptional courage.
