Compare and Contrast of Ancient Heroes

One of the primary similarities of these ancient heroes is that, in all of the clips, they are both faced with an overarching issue that they must surpass, and they have a revalation. As an example of the problem, the warriors of the clips (Achillies, King Leonidas, Mulan, Arisen) are often faced with combat or a mighty foe that them must at some point vanquish, or in Hercules' case, himself. As for the revalation, they all discovered something within themselves that they could not have found if they had not been in grave danger or shame. 

A Look into the Hero's Journey

Title: Dragon's Dogma

Hero's Name/Title: The Arisen

Reason to fight: To retake their humanity from Grigori and save Gransys from his destructive wrath.

General context: We are about to approach the journey to the inmost cave; Grigiori is literally inviting the Arisen into it.

Analysis: For a scene of such terror and foreboding emotion of death and destruction, it is surprisingly well lit; one would suspect that it take a much darker turn and be in the bowels of midnight, but instead it takes place in the middle of the day. However, in response to this, we almost constantly find th eArisen looking small, or looking down upon by the villains of the scene, implying he is still weak and feeble before his final test. The dialogue is also a great emphasis of this, as both Elysium and Grigori both strongly degrade the Arisen, though Grigori has a few shreds more respect for him than Elysium does, but he pays for that.

A wonderful picture
