Both Beowulf and Achilles was epic hero they both took long journeys to be a hero and help someone else. The two are both epic heroes and have a lot of difference and few similarities in their personalities. The reason that Achilles made the long journey to troy was to get revenge even though it was Achilles fault Achilles fought with rage and anger. While Beowulf fought for his own well being he felt that it would benefit is appearance and add to his glory that he already had. Beowulf fought with more control and did not let his emotions get the best of him and therefore cause him to make mistakes due to the emotions running through his head. Both of the epic heroes have one final enemy in the end; Beowulf’s final enemy was the dragon while Achilles final enemy was hector. A huge difference in the two epic heroes was that Beowulf did not have the anger problems like Achilles did. Both Beowulf and Achilles are very well known and respected they also had in common a lot of ambition to continue to be respected and known as great warriors in battle. I thought that they weren’t very much alike other then the fact that they bought were epic heroes and very well respected in battle. But due to the fact that they fought different ways and for different reasons it leads me to think that they were different.
