X-Sender-Ip: 152.163.232.23 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit i was wondering, would you say hercules is a hero in our times? i read somewhere that it was his pure physical strength that made him a hero to the greeks, despite his rashness and his lack of intellect. looking at some of today's movies, it seems that such physical strength is still considered heroic. but... well, any thoughts? thanks. =) ~ susan e, uc berkeley Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com .
