In any case, I think what you're describing about 'heroes' pervades our own history as well. Great discoveries are often chalked up to one legendary influential individual, when human achievements are almost universally a collaborative effort. More often than not, what we remember is not the individual themselves and their actual struggles, but a mythic retelling of those events that they could never hope to live up to. But it's the unsung trials that are the most important ones. History may never remember your personal struggles or growth, but that's not to say that it wasn't important at the time.
